It looks grand Nevermind.  Good carving and reproduction in plaque form. Well done.  Let's hope more folks will look around and admire other little plaques in Norwich and in Norfolk in general, and replace any that have been vandalised or badly defaced.  Matty    Report

Ingo is a true craftsman and Matty a true Norfolk lass. I am so glad that Nick has finally made his way back to hanging on the wall where he may leer at his leisure at all the girls who pass his way.    Kenneth."   Thank you.   Kenneth Jessett    Report

But a good article if you ignore that error. Matty    Report

18/08/2009, 6:38 PM Lynda Joined on 22/03/2004 Norwich Posts 2,721 Re: Goblin face on Castle Meadow I also saw the article in today's EN.    Nick seems to be looking good - for a goblin! If I was a rich person in a posh house I may well commission Ingo to do a carving to decorate the posh house.    Unfortunately, I am on a low income and in a small terraced house which will probably lose anything decent around here!

I hope that it generates some local interest, and perhaps we can find out if there was a reason for the original to be there, or if it was just a fun bit of embellishment. I'm particularly impressed by Nevermind's skill, but also amazed at how a chance query has found the right mix of capable people to transform it into a reality. Yes, well done everyone! Perhaps we should go for something bigger..... One of my early childhood memories was of the colonnaded entrance to the old Hippodrome cinema where St Gile's Multistory car-park is... Nevermind? "> Just joking... On the other hand, if there are any other blank walls in need of embellishment, perhaps Nevermind would be up for a commission?   Strawman    Report

I also appreciated the dynamic that got us there in the end, people met who otherwise would not have done so and it is one of the rarely spoken of achievements the internet does, it actually brings people together physically. For example, the 'raving mules', a group who met on here and went to pubs for beer and chat, developed online first, then there is the latest Noprwich North campaign, the team I was part of also formed online, so there is future for the internet, not just greyfaced geeks in cupboards.   Matty I'm sorry, I said 'i think she went to school in Norwich', so put this squarely down to my embellishment, what counted was that you had seen the old Nick for decades and so did others.   Now for pastures anew, commissions, anything I'm multiskilled and can adopt. Thanks for letting us know of the well wisher Celia, much appreciated. nevermind        Report

I will go and have a look when the weather cools down a bit. I can't remember seeing it in the original state, even though we did used to park on the cattle market  and walk around that end to go to the shoe shop etc.    Report
