19. This Awful Statue
For better or worse, Derby's emblem has long been the ram. Derived from the traditional tall tale The Derby Ram - otherwise known as As I Was Going To Derby - it recounts the story of a gigantic ram and the ensuing difficulties in butchering and tanning its carcass. You might think that a statue befitting this tale would be an impressive creation - unfortunately the one Derbeians ended up with looked a lot more like a large dollop of turd than the muscular beast from the old tales. The added layers of dirt the statue has acquired over the years certainly hasn't helped its image - but at least there's something for people to lean on if they get tired whilst out shopping.
