In April 2003 the Birmingham Forward statue was destroyed by fire. Vandalised by mindless stupidity. It was first built in 1991 and has been the subject of ridicule over the
years.
It looked more like what you would expect to find in the main square of old Russian rural town or the Chinese Peoples Republic. It was however well known and a recognised landmark. It was designed by Raymond Mason from Birmingham and made of polyester resin.
