Three colourful elephants, Ellie, Elner and Mr Jackbow, were named by young competition winners in 2007 and installed on Newport Street. Kenneth Allen and Bill Nicholls photographed them when they were there Image - Image - Image In 2015 they were moved to beside a play park in Octagon Square. I have only photographed two of them as a little boy and his mum were playing by the third and I didn't wish to disturb them. See Image for more information.
