My Wife and I were sitting in the café of the National Portrait Gallery in London this week enjoying a late-morning coffee after looking around the gallery, and I happened to look up and noticed a strikingly life-like barrel maker statue at the top of the building at the corner of St. Martins Lane and William IV St. The barrel was even spinning around? The ornament stands atop of the Chandos pub, which was built in the 1800s, and probably has something to do with that, or maybe they used to make barrels here, there's not much information about it online so who knows?
