Statue at the top of The Ranges
Looking east at the top of The Ranges, formerly the waste tip from the Linby Colliery, which closed in 1988. The country park was landscaped by Nottingham Council in 1994. The twelve-foot-high statue by Lewis Morgan cost £13,000 and was erected in 2007, funded from the Building Better Communities scheme. A consultation event at Hucknall Library led to local residents choosing the man and dog as their favourite from three designs. The design was partly inspired by the poem Byron wrote as a tribute to his dog, Boatswain - see Image
