When these bronze figures, by Elisabeth Frink, on the Ulster Bank in Shaftesbury Square were unveiled in the 60’s many column inches in the papers and hours on the wireless and television were devoted to discussions about them. Now, more than 40 years later, it is doubtful if anyone even notices them. The ultimate indignity, given their proximity to Queen’s University, is that they never seem to have featured in a Rag Day stunt. For a later view see Image
