I hope this brings a smile to your face today!

"The Major" by Paul Richardson (1967-) is a steel sculpture that has been painted black. It was installed in 2005 on the roof of public toilets at Majors Corner in Ipswich! Typical of the caricature style of Richardson, ‘The Major’ is depicted waving his fly-swat. The Raj-period Major is shown with handlebar moustache, monocle, plumed helmet and medals on his chest.

Paul Richardson was chosen to add this public sculpture to the public toilets because of his reputation for humorous sculpture and ability to bring his figures alive. The major is a caricature of an Indian army major concerned for hygiene as he swats at the flies endemic to hot climates and toilets.
