The Camel is covered!
For the first time since 1959 the statue of General Gordon sitting on his camel is no longer visible.
For the first time since 1959 the statue of General Gordon sitting on his camel is no longer visible. The statue has been covered to protect it from the elements.
Unfortunately the last 2 winters have caused serious corrosion of the bronze statue, and ice has caused damage and cracking to the plinth. The statue will now remain covered until the summer or until we have raised the money needed for restoration.
