Shilpi’s design was inspired by Tim the Tiger, who used to happily share space with a lioness named Alice in Maidstone Zoo at Cobtree Manor Park. The zoo was run by Sir Garrard Tyrwhitt-Drake in the mid-20th century, who invited the public to come and see these rare wild animals. Tim was also used on promotional posters and was very popular among all. This sculpture has kindly been sponsored by Fowler Welch https://www.fowlerwelch.co.uk/
