A memorial statue of the beloved Bury actress and comedian Victoria Wood has been reinstated in Bury town centre.
The statue was knocked over in a traffic accident last summer, but has today resumed its place at the Unitarian Church Gardens.
The full-size bronze statue – a joint project of Bury Council and Victoria’s estate – was created by sculptor Graham Ibbeson. It was originally funded in part by a Crowdfunding appeal set up by Victoria’s brother Chris Foote-Wood.
Many donations were received from Victoria’s fans from Bury and beyond.
