The 'Bronze' sculpture (In fact it's fibreglass) named 'Four Lads Who Shook the World'. Can be seen in Mathew street, but you will have to look for it, depicts Mother Liverpool cradling three babies, John, George and Ringo while a fourth, Paul, has grown 'wings' and flown away.

The plaque on the left hand side and the one to the right hand side can be read with the aid of a pair of stilts (If you do look for the statue then this is a clue).

The following information provided by John Moffat (formerly of Foundrite Ltd, a small bronze foundry in Bankhall).
The fibreglass is painted with bronze paint and was done by Arthur Dooley, our late great lamented. Following the death of John Lennon Arthur with my help added the 'John Lennon lives' doll to the right of the main statue. This is also in fibreglass/bronze over the toy guitar and doll if my memory serves. I don't think Arthur gets enough recognition sometimes.
