You could ask the same question and receive the answer “Climate Change” but no this is a different topic.
Sometime ago the Martinborough Town Hall was graced by the presence of prototypes of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, statues representing Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. They were positioned on the front façade of the Town Hall, each in their own corner. They braved sleet and snow, searing sunshine and the blasts of the Nor-Westerly winds.
They continued to watch over the Square, eyeing all that went on day and night. Then suddenly they vanished. Whisked away, never to be seen again. Where did they go? Are they happily established in someone’s designer garden? Did they, did not survive being taken down?
There was a rumour that the council at the time was concerned with earthquake risk. Pedestrians may have been compromised.
These statues were not part of the original design of the Town Hall and were possibly installed as a joke. Should you know how they got there and where they went or when they vanished, do let us know.
