| Description |
English: Ship's Figurehead, Hunt's Green.
Ship's figurehead. 1860 from HMS Howe (1860). Renamed 'Impregnable' as a training ship. The ship was broken up in 1921, timbers were used to build Liberty and Co.'s store in Regent Street. The figurehead was removed to The Lee and set up adjacent to Pipers by the Liberty family circa. 1924. Half length figure of Lord Howe in admiral's uniform on Scroll from prow of ship. Painted timber. Listing NGR: SP8999903920 Original description: This is quite an amazing site at any time - however when it looms out at you in your headlights on a misty evening it can give you quite a shock I can tell you - and I speak from experience. Research on the net suggests that it is a representation of Admiral Lord Howe - and is either from the eponymous "Howe" warship, or from the Navy's last wooden warship "Impregnable". If I get to the bottom of it, I'll modify this comment ! These days it has its own little roof for protection - since it was repainted I think. It is on a bend in the road to The Lee near Hunt's Green and guards the gate to a property called Pipers (which is in the adjacent square). |
