Carved Wooden Indian - Petergate

For those of you intrigued by yesterday's wooden Indian here he is in situ. For anyone still not sure where he is, you can find him in Petergate close to the junction with Goodramgate and Church Street just a couple of doors from Poundland where everything costs a pound, no need to ask, even if it might only cost 99p in the shop next door!

I am sure this carved wooden Indian used to stand on the pavement outside this shop and had a sign board in his right hand and cigars in his left hand. Back in those days I am sure the shop was a herbalist shop that also sold products from the London Rubber Company. Don't ask me the connection between herbs and London Rubber Company; I can't think of one! See tomorrows blog for the location of this particular ornamentation.
