Every city has statues of its famous sons and daughters. This is Sir Francis Drake (1540 -1596), renowned for finishing his game of Bowls on Plymouth Hoe before setting sail to defeat the Spanish Armada, in 1588. The statue was unveiled in 1884, and since then his image has been used on everything from tea towels and postcards to the covers of national and local government reports.
Drake has recently been joined by the "Barbican Prawn" as a logo for the city. Increasingly, Drake and the Prawn are found side by side in the most unlikely circumstances.

That is one scary looking prawn! Love your favorite bar though – looks very cosy.
