Well done Sheffield City Council at that time.
Although I no longer live there, I'm from Birmingham. We once had a statue called the 'Forward' statue;
It was made out of cast polyester resin. It would be fair to say that it wasn't well received in the city. So much so that someone destroyed it by setting fire to it.
There is also (still existing) a large iron head laid on its side, very near the Birmingham City Football Club ground. Their fans are called 'blue noses'. The iron head had no sooner been set into the ground than someone painted a blue nose on to it.

Great work! I'm so glad you're enjoying getting to know Fullard. He really should be much more widely known, and we're very lucky that Sheffield City Council in years past had the foresight to get casts of some of his work done and put on public display for us all to enjoy.
