Statue of Colonel Robert Duckenfield (1619-89), outside the Town Hall, Dukinfield.
Colonel Robert Duckenfield was a man of great Puritan faith and was one of the leading Parliamentarians
in the Civil War.  He defended Stockport Bridge against Prince Rupert and conducted the siege of
Wythenshawe.  He became High Sheriff of Cheshire in 1625 and in 1650, during the Commonwealth
period, he was made the Governor of Chester.  In 1651 he commanded the forces which secured
the Isle of Man and in 1653 was appointed to Cromwell's 'Little Parliament'.

More line painting.

They were packing up when I passed.  When in use it has a
cover over it and a water hose connected, to dampen the dust.
