When you walk along Cheadle's pavements, you walk on pigeons. It was hard to find out why exactly, but after some enquiries, it seems that one of Cheadle’s main claims to fame is that it was once home to the national racing-pigeon champion Palm Brook Lad (the fastest RPRA sprint champion ever, apparently, though I couldn’t find actual confirmation of that).
The town felt it must celebrate one of its sporting heroes.
The artist was Ian Naylor.
I like the finished work!
