Queenie: Bridport stalking dog sculpture reinstalled after appeal

Art trail curator Cleo Evans and author Ros Huxley launched the crowdfunder, with the support of the sculptor and local businesses.

The original was returned to the artist for repairs before a specialist mould maker cast a new version of Queenie.

A spokesperson for Bridport Town Council said: “It was Cleo and Ros’s energy, creativity, and sheer persistence that made this possible.

“Without them, she wouldn’t be back in place.

“Thanks to the generosity of the community, including many of whom attended an unveiling on Monday, the target was reached ahead of time.”
