In celebration of Harrow’s 50 years as a borough and to mark the opening of the new pedestrianised area, Skipping Katie was unveiled in 1987.
Artist and sculptor James Butler won the public art commission, inspired by watching his own daughter Katie skipping in their garden.
A further full-size bronze version entitled Skipping Girl, is in Monte Palace Gardens at Funchal in Madeira, Portugal. Madeira or Harrow to visit. The choice is yours.
