Statue and garden, Oxford Street
The statue was erected to mark the Golden Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II in 2002. First impression - the face looks like a cross between a lion and a mandrill - was not far off. The work by sculptor Shawn Williamson is called 'Mandilion', and described as a 'lion head imbued with the characteristics of man', carved in medieval style (information from http://www.artworkersguild.org/members/shawn_williamson/ ).
Signs at the back of the garden record a number of wins in the Cumbria in Bloom competition, and that Workington is twinned with Selm (Germany) and Val de Reuil (France).
On the right, in Vulcans Lane, is the back entrance to Image .
