Letter: Where is the ‘Tunsgate Man’?

The Tunsgate Man

From Julie Howarth

In response to: Tunsgate Quarter Delayed – Opening Postponed to February

Great to hear about the, “desired ‘art-deco’ aesthetic the project is centred around,” and the, “highest specification” and that we are to, “enjoy the best quality experience in fantastic surroundings with a great choice of shops, cafes, and restaurants”.

But where is Tunsgate Man and will he be reinstated as a tenant in the new Tunsgate Quarter?  Where is he spending his much-earned rest?

Surely there will be a place for him.  We can’t be the only locals who miss him!

I attach a photo of him in 2012 with his modesty preserved by the “must-have” fashion of the year.

    At the time, GBC’s chief executive David Watts was asked if the was the model for this work of art!

    Probably not art deco enough to fit the new brief.

    Also, the Edward and Eleanor sundial? I hope it will be going back up.

    Editor’s note: When we interviewed the developers, some months ago now, they said that it would be.
