'Dickie Lewis'

The main entrance to "Lewis's" department store in Liverpool is home to this 18ft high statue, which is positioned on top of another work showing a ship's prow.

The whole work was intended to symbolise the struggle and determination of the city to rehabilitate itself after the destructive war years, and was titled 'Advenutrous Youth'. However, the (under-endowed) statue is affectionately known as 'Dickie Lewis'.
