The continuing and very occasional series of public art photographs reaches Skipton in North Yorkshie. Famed for it's castle and market, Skipton also hosts this rather splendid statue of Fred Trueman one time England and Yorkshire fast bowler and TV pub games presenter.
**Semi Interesting fact** I once stood next to Freddie Trueman at the bar of the Farmer's Glory pub in Haslingden. We were on the way home from a Rovers Reserves match, and he was at his wife, Veronica's, 50th birthday party.
