Oh Statue, Why art Thou? - Alec the Goose

"Alec the Goose" 
Cromac Road, Belfast, behind St.Georges Market 



Alec the Goose was a popular sight at St. Georges Market. During his short life in the 1920s, he was a regular of the Market, belonging to a local poultry vendor. Apparently he even walked the schoolchildren to school! Could you imagine?! 

Unfortunately, in 1926 Alec was hit by a truck in the area. 
Now there's a lovely statue to remember him by... cute eh?
