| About |
Outside the Golden Arches in Chamberlain Square, Birmingham, stands a statue of Joseph Priestley high on a pedestal.
Priestley, minister of the Unitarian New Meeting House in Birmingham from 1780-91, is generally better known as the 'discoverer of oxygen, nitrogen, ammonia and sulphuric acid' and credited by many with being 'the father of modern chemistry'.
Along with the triumvirate of Boulton, Watt and Murdock, Joseph Priestley was a member of the Lunar Society in the late 18th. Century.
But on a daily basis I bet more people notice the Golden Arches of McDonald's than the statue on the pedestal!
