The (no) Ring Of Ire

The original 'modern shopping mother'.
Once of Lord Square, now relocated to the Corporation Street / Astley Gate / Northgate area.
She was Initially unveiled as part of the 'new' Blackburn shopping centre in the early 70's, and she caused much controversy as a mini skirted young mum who lacked a wedding ring.
The 'even newer' Blackburn shopping mall has engulfed her old location, outside the Cavendish nightclub (latterly The Pepermint Place, for those of  more modern vintage) and caused her to be moved to the new site at the top end of the Barbary Coast, just outside The Chippery.
