Thomas Waghorn: Pioneer & Conehead

Created by artist Dream Safari as part of Medway Light Nights, a spectacular two-day light extravaganza in 2023.

Based on the nearby statue of Thomas Fletcher Waghorn (1800–1850), naval officer, born on Chatham High Street. Where locals wage a constant battle with the council to place a traffic cone on his head, for many years.
