Our Local Hero: The Forbury Lion
While the Forbury Lion may be our most iconic landmark, it is not our only source of pride in the community. Our local hero is none other than John Forster, the man responsible for the creation of the Forbury Gardens and the installation of the Forbury Lion.
John Forster was a passionate advocate for community green spaces and believed in the power of public art to inspire and uplift. He dedicated much of his life to transforming the Forbury area into a beautiful and welcoming public space for all to enjoy. His vision and dedication have left a lasting impact on our community, making him a true local hero.
John Forster’s commitment to creating a vibrant and inviting public space in the heart of our city is a testament to his love for our community and his desire to make it a better place for everyone. His legacy lives on in the Forbury Lion, which stands as a symbol of his dedication and passion for improving the lives of those around him.
So, while the Forbury Lion may be our most iconic landmark, it is John Forster who stands as our local hero, inspiring us all to strive for greatness and make our community a better place for generations to come.
