Donkey Man

A plaque nearby reads: "“WILLIAM PIRIE: This sculpture by Lorne McKean is for the enjoyment of the users of Pirie's Place. It depicts William Pirie, who was Headmaster of Collyers from 1822-1869, during which time he became a familiar figure travelling around Horsham with his donkey & cart. He bought property in Horsham, and built 15 cottages on this site naming it Pirie's Place, from which this development takes its name.”

It was a warm, bright afternoon, so I thought I'd lend Mr Pirie my Tilly Hat to keep the sun out of his eyes.
