A risqué statue of two naked, embracing lovers which caused outrage in 1967 when first erected in Doncaster's Arndale shopping centre, found a new home in Doncasters Waterdale Shopping Centre on Friday afternoon (June 19 2015). St. Modwen Properties a British-based property investment and development business that specialises in regenerating urban areas, discovered the statue in storage and in need of repair after purchasing Waterdale in 2013. Constructed from fibreglass and damaged during years in storage St. Modwen got together with Artfuel, a local art group and restored the artwork. Doncasters 'Lovers' sculpture returned in all it's glory to public view, almost 30 years after it disappeared. It now stands on a soon to be flood lit glass canopy in the Waterdale Shopping Centre close to the Staff Of Life public house.<br /> <br /> 19 June 2016<br /> Image Copyright Paul David Drabble<br /> www.pauldaviddrabble.co.uk
