The Beekeeper of Beeston

Beeston in Nottingham. By Siobhan Coppinger 1987. Beeston looking a little more faded with more shops closed and at the same time perky with new eateries and bars.

Nautical but nice https://365project.org/boxplayer/365-2022/2022-02-19

Oh isn't he lovely?

[Kitty Hawke]

He looks like a contented soul.

Odd to have a beekeeper in a relatively urban area. Nice statue though.

[Pat Knowles]

There must be a story here about the bee keeper….not your usual statue! Sad to see towns loosing their shops but good the centres are becoming more for wining & dining so not all is lost.

[Helge E. Storheim]

Nice statue and shot.

[Phil Howcroft]

I know him, I've nodded at him as I walk past him. I worked for 14 years in Beeston when I first moved to Nottingham. I go there now for the occasional rummage in their charity shops looking for vintage lenses and cameras

Nice looking statue

[Maxine Lathbury]

I wonder what his story is. I have a friend in Beeston, she may know.

@phil_howcroft our New Year's Eve mooch around Beeston's charity shops scouring the rails for last-minute additions to our fancy dress is now a years-long tradition! The pleasure deferred this year because of lovely COVID.
