A memorial statue honouring Telford’s miners has been returned to the traffic island that was its home before it was destroyed when a 14-tonne lorry ploughed through it.
Designer Gerry Foxall, 73, went back to Granville roundabout in Donnington on Monday, February 22, to see the return of the statue he built 15 years ago.
The statue was damaged when a lorry mounted the island and smashed into it in October.
