Filey got the Big man ....Not for long

I first saw this fab fella up in Saltburn but he wasn't by the sea he was stood by a wall,then all Filey residents surprise surprise he ended up on Coble landing looking magnificent standing roughly 4 metres!!!!!WOW the pics are here to show you but sadly because we can't raise funds £50.000 he is moving to Scarborough tight ar.. peeps loved it and visitors would have flocked in the Summer for their photos taken with him but not enough was pledged eh ho another gret idea bites the dust.An elderly resident of Scarborough saved her pennies and bought a similar sculpture he sits on his special iron bench on Marine drive do take a look if your there.

It's great to be back I have given facebook a try
