edit

Genuine question: should the statue of Edward Colston have been moved to the 'List of public art formerly in Bristol' after being pulled down yesterday by protesters? It's still in Bristol - currently at the bottom of the harbour, admittedly - and as far as I know the plan is to raise it and put it in Bristol museum, together with the placards from the protest.

There are several sculptures at the Bristol end of the path, would it be helpful to add another section covering them? Paulthomaswells (talk) 20:24, 26 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
