MILLTOWN — A bronze statue of a nineteenth-century factory owner was taken down on Saturday. The statue, which had been erected in 1895, had been criticised for years because the man had made children work twelve hours a day in his mills. After a long debate, the council had it removed by a specialist company. Crowds watched as it was lifted onto a lorry. Some people cheered; others said history was being erased. The statue will be cleaned and displayed in the town museum, where visitors will be invited to discuss its history. A new monument, designed by local students, is expected to be unveiled next year.
