A sculpture dedicated to Josiah Wedgwood was demolished after a council leader said it was ‘best to get rid’ – and later appeared to blame workmen for the blunder.
The 10ft red brick statue of the 18th-century pottery founder and abolitionist was created in 1986 and had stood in Festival Park in Stoke since 2009.
