RoyMac5 Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 This looks cool, not being local I'd not heard about it. Has anyone done the trail? @DerbyRamTrail "Embaa'rk on a free public art trail of 30 beautifully decorated rams on the streets of Derby until 22 August 2021 #TheRamsAreHere #DerbyRamTrail" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's be really good if they did a small version that you could have as an ornament and then a bigger version for a garden ornament or something like that....

Grimbeard Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 The original one in East street I like, but judging by the photo's, the rest are horrible. Anyone know where the bronze ram from the old Main Centre ended up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ilkestonian Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 I did all of them on Tuesday with my better half and two forest fans, we all really enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone, great job by everyone involved and well worth doing irrespective of any football allegiances, some great ideas and artistic talent on display.

angieram Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 And of course, the Derby Ram was a thing way before DCFC. Only two of the Rams have a football theme, the rest mostly have a local connection. My favourite was Flamsteed Ram, after the astronomer royal. I am still trying to work out what connection Poseidon has to Derby, though, even though the cause is a good one!

Lots of folk artists in America like Pete Seeger did a variation on it. It's very well known over there it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cstand Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 I think it’s a fantastic idea definitely will be being doing the trail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 We plan to do the trail in the next couple of weeks. The Memsahib has a bad back at the moment, which makes a change from the bad side we support. archram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VulcanRam Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 The positives are the Council are trying to do something to brighten up the city centre. The negatives are the trail takes you through the city centre which is an absolute dump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
