A real coke-head

This statue, on a scrappy piece of grass hidden behind the gasometers is of Sir Corbet Woodall, who ran the Gas Light & Coke Company around the turn of the 20th Century, but it makes a pleasant feature for the Eastern European workers who gather round for a smoke and natter. There is another famous coke head, Thomas Coke who built Holkham Hall in Norfolk, well worth a visit if you are thereabouts.
