News
- December 2006 - a bronze Iguanodon sculpture, 3m long and 2m high (on a brick plinth), was unveiled in Lintot Square, Southwater. This area was formerly surrounded by numerous brick pits working the Weald Clay and undoubtedly the source of many dinosaur finds, which this statue commemorates. More details can be found in press releases and www.hannahstewartsculpture.co.uk
