Peter Pan....

Peter Pan Statue, Sefton Park . The restored Peter Pan statue has at last been reinstated in Sefton Park alongside the Palm House. The bronze figure stands on a tree trunk incorporating a variety of animals. Sir George Frampton (1860-1928) was commissioned by James Barrie, author of Peter Pan, to create the original statue as a gift to the public. It was introduced into Kensington Gardens (London) in 1912. The Sefton Park replica, commissioned by George Audley of Southport as a gift to the children of Liverpool, was installed in 1928. There are further replicas in Brussels, Newfoundland, Toronto, New Jersey and Perth (Western Australia).
