Image I took today through the gates of a closed down "Carbon Black" factory in Bristol.

Looks link it has been just uncovered. Is it an early Gollywog? Or a representation of a carbon black worker ?

Thoughts.

Is it an early Gollywog?

I doubt it - those brown bricks look classic 1970/80s.

It's definitely a Gollywog though. A happy cheerful Gollywog, smiling and obviously saluting the boss-man.
I would say that it's a good example of a late post-PC Gollywog.

Are you sure it's not just the white gloves that's making you think Disney ?

That Colombian Chemicals place always looked a little on the forboding side to me...it's been shut down for ages hasn't it? Carbon Black you say? Don't fancy that decommissioning job then...
