The curator of the Archive and Museum of late Liverpool sculptor and activist Arthur Dooley is trying to trace two pieces of art he created.
Dennis Hepworth the museum's curator and Tommy Calderbank, founder of Dooley Day (January 17), are leading the efforts to locate the pieces with the aim of preserving them to feature in the archive. The pieces once graced the old Speaker’s Platform at the Pier Head, situated on the site where the Museum of Liverpool now stands.
During the 1970’s and 80’s, the platform became the focal point for numerous rallies and demonstrations. It disappeared in the 1990’s and the archive curator believes it lay forgotten in a council depot in Calderstones Park before being cut up for scrap.
