Love these

what does it say around the circle of the last one...which is my favourite. It has a real whimsy about it despite its plainness compared to the painted look of the horses.

All I know it is on of Sir John Betjeman's poem

I have a couple other pictures of the unicorn and pegasus statues that look better. I have the original and the edited ones below

I found it

Betjeman's name and dates and the words "Who saved this glorious station". Round the rim, Jennings the sculpter has chosen words from the poem Cornish Cliffs: "And in the shadowless unclouded glare / Deep blue above us fades to whiteness where / A misty sea-line meets the wash of air."

Hey, Chris

The unicorn shots are interesting, but I must admit that I prefer the shot of sir john betjamen. I just scrolled down and saw that you found the poem that is inscribed around the statue, and they just sing to me. :-)

Later!
