Considering the Hotel Elizabeth Copdock in Ipswich?
A VT member wrote the following comment about visiting Ipswich:
Ronald "Carl" Giles and "Grandma" by Airpunk
Giles was a famous British cartoonist and maybe Ipswich's most famous son. Although he was not born in Ipswich, he spent most of his time there and was - of course - also a supporter of the local football team. But unlike Sir Alfred Ramsey, the statue dedicated to him does not show the artist. It is a bronze figure of Giles' cartoon character "Grandma", who was maybe the most popular of them. Giles was still alive when the figure was unveiled in the 1990s, but was already bound to a wheelchair. He also first objected against such a monument, but later allowed it to be placed under the condition that no tax money should be wasted on it. Giles died in 1995 at the age of 78.
