I just came across this picture :

I've never seen these lions, has anyone else ?

Looks like an interior feature...strange style, reminds me of statues from the middle east.

now I know why I haven't seen them, they've been nicked

They currently live at the Tarmac Headquarters in Wolverhampton...

I've been past that building so many times!

Robdog buggers!:D

I want them back, lets storm Tarmacs offices, they should go back as part of the restoration.

I agree, but they should be put out in the open...the drunks of Hallam should be allowed to ride on the back of such magnificent beasts when out of it and eating a kebab!:hihi:

Exactly, thats what "public art" is all about.
