British Linen Bank Head Office
Location: St Andrew Square
OS Ref: NT 256 741
Scupltor: Sculptor: Alexander Handyside Ritchie

Here are five of the six statues on the parapet of the old British Linen Bank Head Office in St Andrew Square by Alexander Handyside Ritchie.

I thought I'd got them all but when I posted this I've just realised I've only got five! I'll have to go back and get number six.
