Our 'Big Ram' SPCA Op Shop in Tirau officially has a name.... Henry! Congrats to our winner John Tuck, who submitted this. The inspiration behind his suggestion was so lovely, it won the hearts of our SPCA team in the final vote.
The name Henry was submitted in memory of Henry Clothier, 1941-2021 - the 'Tin Man' credited with transforming Tirau. It was Clothier’s vison for Tirau to transform the i-Site Public Toilets to be a giant corrugated-iron dog to sit alongside the established sheep-shaped wool shop of its time. All three were built from 1994-2005, and now years later Tirau’s corrugated set of iron animals are standing strong on State Highway One and have become a local landmark.
We wanted to express our appreciation all of you - our lovely supportive community who took part in sharing names for him. We loved all the amazing amount of entries that came through.
