Well this will make Preston a must see fanboy tourist destination:
Wallace and Gromit statue planned
"A statue of Wallace and Gromit is to be built in Preston, Lancashire - the home city of their creator Nick Park. The Oscar-winning animator is working on designs for a permanent bronze tribute to the pair. Preston City Council must raise £100,000 to build the statue which it says would give a "boost" to the area. Mr Park, who dreamt up the characters as a student, said the statue would be "a wonderful honour". He said: "This is a really exciting project and I'm delighted to be working on the designs."
