A statue of the 1969 triumph .

Failing that a statue of Buddy Holly, Richie Valens and The Big Bopper or Elvis or Alex Harvey.

I used to pass every day en route to college. I'm told it's on the wrong side of the road.

Also, Dave Dee of Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich fame taught himself to play using Eddie's guitar while a policeman in the area.
