You can see this statue on a roundabout close to the old Great Central wagon works in Leicester.
From 1920 until 2003 it stood on top of the Liberty shoe factory, a Grade II listed building. This being Leicester, the factory was demolished to make way for accommodation for students at De Montfort University.
Note the Kirby & West milk trundling into the picture to prove that the statue is still in Leicester.

As a Leicester ex-pat I'm always reassured by the sight of a K&W ad at Grace Road during a televised match.
Semper Eadem indeed!
And also close to Frank Berry's scrap yard if I remember correctly.
