In all the years I lived in Newtown I never saw a King Kong on a lorry......... perhaps he was getting ready to order a pint at the Little Brown Jug?

ha ha ...he may well have been mark if there were any pubs left around there..nice little mystery though...eventually we may find out why he was there..the men grappling with him seemed a little stressed so i thought it best not to shout over them :D

I feel a caption competition coming on - "Where HAVE the Minerva and the Vampire and the LBJ gone???" or "I was going to climb up the side of Cannings but that's gone too" or "Not to worry - I'll soon walk back to me old home in Manzoni Gardens".....
 
mystery solved...king kong was being taken away..he was only there for the commonwealth games

The day King Kong came back to Brum after 50 years away

Bigger and better than ever before, the now 23-foot tall King Kong will be at the end of Great Hampton Row near to the heart of the Jewellery Quarter throughout the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games
