Bust of Queen Victoria, Gibberd Garden, Harlow

A view in the Gibberd garden annotated by Sir Frederick; 'Frederick Gibberd's garden Harlow. Bust of Queen Victoria : terracotta in niche made from flint & bottles.' He also used bottles in terraces stating, 'the bottles put air into the wall instead of concrete and they reflect the light. The idea was borrowed from Gordon Russell who built an immense retaining wall from wine bottles saved from the Lygon Arms - the family hotel in Broadway. How much I miss him.'
