*CHESTER* - Janya the Elephant

Inscription:- full inscription can be found on the Waymarking website here.
Sculptor:- Annette Yarrow - made from bronze; 3.3ft tall.
Unveiled:- March 2010.
Notes:- a gift from Chester Zoo; the name Janya (which means 'life in Hindu) was chosen by the people of the city.
The statue is incredibly lifelike and from a distance you might easily believe a baby Indian elephant was roaming the streets Jumanji style.
Overall:- 8.5/10
