Description:These oriental figures date from the eighteenth century and topped the front a tea warehouse in Market Street. Made from a hard plaster known as Roman Cement, the figures were a form of advertisement at a time when tea was an expensive commodity. The shop, which at this time was Motor Cycle Mecca, was demolished in 1963 and the figures are now in the County Museum collection.
