  Howard is right in that yes we are losing another asset. I can see this statue from my window and it is very popular where it is. Lots of people pass thru the seafront and stop for a linger and the kids get pictured on it, sometimes even climb on it, hug it and so on...so the thinking behind moving it is odd.
  
  The original link to the town, as I understand it, was that much of the coal of Kent was exported through Dover, hence the connection.
  
  But yes its a nice thing very popular and it will be just one more thing less in the Dover visitor/tourist armory.
  
  But as Sue said the decision to remove it has been taken by the looks of it.
  
  We are slowly denuding the seafront of assets .
