Sunday Picture Quiz Answers: May 11
Here are the answers to this week's Sunday Picture Quiz. How well did you do?
1. The statue of Cupid and Psyche in Crescent Gardens, Harrogate.
The statue, by Italian sculptor Giovanni Benzoni, was bought in 1862 by a syndicate of Harrogate businessmen and displayed in the gardens of the Spa Room Estate, where the Convention Centre now stands. When the gardens closed in 1958 for the development of the exhibition halls, the sculpture was put into storage. In 1989 it was rediscovered, restored and put on display in this glass pavilion in 1992.
2. Low Hall, between Dacre Banks and Darley in Nidderdale.
The house has a romantic walled garden set on different levels, and is a member of the National Open Garden Scheme.
3. The Tour de France stag at North Stainley.
This sculpture was made from cycle parts, with a sprung saddle for a head, and handlebars with brake-levers sticking out to form the antlers.
4. Roger's Almshouses in Harrogate.
These almshouses were built in 1868 and paid for by George Rogers, a Bradford textile manufacturer and Harrogate philanthropist. The almshouses are available to people from Harrogate or Bradford who are over 60 years old.
