Nipper

Nipper the HMV dog was just one of his names. He was also Nipper the RCA Victor Dog. And originally Nipper the Europa Records Dog.

He is, or was, probably the most famous dog in the world. At one time there was probably not a home in the Western world which didn't have his image on some record or another.

But this symbol of phonographic history, feted by some of the biggest recording companies of the past,, where has he been laid to rest?

In a car park behind Lloyds Bank in Kingston.

Fame isn't always what it's made out to be.
