Andy Capp statue

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Andy Capp statue. Standing on Croft Terrace on Hartlepool Headland. The statue, by Shropshire artist Jane Robbins, captures the working class cartoon hero in a typically relaxed pose, but minus his trademark cigarette. The 5 feet high, bronze statue was unveiled on 28 June 2007. The £20,000 statue was funded by the North Hartlepool Partnership with the help of a £2,000 donation from the Daily Mirror, the news paper in which Andy first appeared in 1957, cf. Home town gains Andy Capp statue. news.bbc.co.uk (June 28, 2007).

Reg Smythe, the creator of Andy Capp, was born and died in Hartlepool and based the characters on his own parents Andy_Capp.

The rear of the terraced houses on Londonderry Street can be seen behind.
