🐋 Evesham’s Arctic Connection: The Story of the Whale 🌊
Did you know Evesham has a history tied to the icy waters of the North? While you won`t find one splashing in the River Avon today, the legend of the Workman Gardens whale lives on!
Here is the history behind one of our town`s most unusual landmarks:
The Original Gift: In 1820, a pair of massive bowhead whale jawbones arrived in town, brought back from an Arctic expedition and gifted to Dr. Cooper of the Mansion House. 🏴☠
A Public Landmark: By 1906, these striking bones were donated to the people of Evesham, forming the famous "Whalebone Arch" that stood proudly in Workman Gardens for over a century. 🦴
The Modern Tribute: After surviving decades of riverside weather and floods, the original bones were retired in 2012 for preservation. Today, you can still visit the site to see the impressive metal replica arch and whale sculpture! 🎨
Next time you’re strolling through the gardens, take a second to look up at the arch and imagine the 19th-century journey those bones took to get here. It’s a quirky piece of local heritage you won`t find anywhere else!
