Dr Salter's Dream

Dr Salter's Dream
The sculpture 'Dr Salter's Dream' by Diane Gorvin. Alfred Salter looks at his daughter Joyce (who died age nine of scarlet fever). Their cat looks on. Dr Salter (1873-1945) provided medical care to the poor of Bermondsey. He was a Quaker and an MP (Labour, representing Bermondsey West). His wife Ada was mayor of Bermondsey.

I much prefer this version of the good Doctor to the one that replaced it after metal thieves stole it.

On the plus side Ada got commemorated as well. I suppose the stone slab the new Doctor sits on is a bit classier than this standard park or platform bench.

I agree that the original Doctor was a better sculpture, and also agree that it's good to see Ada now included in the family group. They were both remarkable people.
