Thanks Martin - I wasn't 100% sure but it was the only cherub I could find with the head at that angle. Interesting camera info.
Next one ...

Yes John, you have it.
I can understand why a phone photo would be a bit small, I used a 75-300mm f/4-5.6 lens at 105mm which with the crop factor of APC-C works out at 165mm. I then further cropped the photo in GIMP. Shutter speed was 1/200 with the on-camera flash fired. I should have used an additional flash to bring out the 3D, but I'm afraid I was recovering from climbing the stairs (sad, I know).
Guildhall Museum is at:

I think I've found it but the image I've found is quite small on my mobile.
Guildhall Museum in Rochester - on the stairwell ceiling?

Rochester 1912.
This image shows the unveiling of a plaque to commemorate the death of Percy Henry Gordon, who died whilst rescuing a girl from drowning in the nearby River Medway.

Well done Lutonman, spot on the money.
That didn’t even outlast Liz Truss
Never mind, only 3 more PMs until Christmas...
But only if they bring it forward
(Many thanks to BBC Have your Say for those quips)
Over to you, Lutonman.
