Sowing in Weston
One of four intriguing statues on some of the surviving original stonework in the Italian Gardens of Weston depicts an idyllic scene. They were presented to the town by charismatic businessman and councillor, Henry Butt.
Robert Henry Coate Butt (1861-1944) was a coal merchant's son who came to Weston to work in a branch but soon set up his own business in competition. He was immensely successful, became very rich and bought several areas of land, including quarries. Butt later became Weston's first Charter Mayor in 1937. He bought what is now the Italian Gardens and installed various pieces of stonework. When the gardens were given over to the council and a formal Italian style created, these works remained. A plaque nearby records that Butt presented the town with these in June, 1924.

Humility in the gardens
Weston's old Italian Gardens were laid out as a formal walkway and floral borders in the early twentieth century but were extensively refashioned in 2017, thanks to some £2.48 million investment. These original statues remain, thankfully, to tell their tales to the passers-by. See Image] for another work.

Poundland, 64 High Street, Weston-Super-Mare
Woolworths (store No.81) opened here in Weston-super-Mare in 1919 in what was an existing commercial premises. At that time the building had three dormer windows and a chimney stack on the south end at least. They seem to have been replaced with a flat or low pitched roof not visible from ground level. The store closed on 30th December 2008 and was replaced the following November by a combined Ethel Austin and Au Naturale store that closed in March 2011. By the May Poundland were moving in and leaving their former site down the street empty.
