About the work

Sir Francis Sharp Powell was a famous Wiganer, known for his work as an MP and for giving to charitable causes. This statue was erected in 1910, and local legend states that rubbing the Toe brings good luck. Here the artist really puts the toe in the spotlight filling the viewer with an insatiable need to shine the shoe!
