Frank Sidebottom ...a mancunian legend his creator Chris Sievey was a talented but largely misunderstood musician who found success with Frank ..the statue stands next to the local costa coffee and not far away from the famous Timperley post office ..famous for its two post boxes one for your left hand one for your right hand ..a joke that makes me howl with laughter Anyway fir any fan its worth a visit ! Its a thumbs up from me .. and a thumbs up from Frank.

If you remember Frank Sidebottom from your younger days and he made you laugh and you find yourself on the roads just south of Manchester, be sure to take a trip to Timperley. Enjoy the sunset if you fancy, but definitely stop for some pictures with Frank. There is a (currently free) car park a hundred yards away and limited parking right alongside for the small Sainsbury's Local shop. You can admire Frank with a drink or snack from Costa or head to the Co-op across the road, although it feels like it takes an age for the lights at the pedestrian crossing to change! A kindly local offered to take our photo, suggesting that Frank Sidebottom has not been forgotten in this area and is still well loved. The tale of Chris Sievey is not always a happy one but it is worth finding out more about the man behind the papier-mâché head. This statue certainly does him justice.

What can I say about the man, the myth, the legend that is my boi Frank. Seriously though, everybody should get down and see this cult stars statue. You know you should, you really should.

FANTASTIC. Definitely not bobbins.

I didn't realise that Santa was Frank Sidebottom until last night! I went again in April 2023 to see Frank in the Spring. He has removed his Santa suit now - maybe in the summer he will have a string vest and knotted hankie on his head.

The statue is perfect and a lovely tribute to Chris Sievey. We made the trip just to see the statue and it was worth it. Perfect for a photo opportunity.

definitely ace and not bobbins at all, boss! thank you.

Great to pay homage to Frank/Chris and visit nearby places in Timperley from his videos

Easily accessible, probably be taken down [quietly] in 10 or so years. Got some evil looks from the customers is Costa but apart from that 10 out of 10! Live long Frank and RIP Chris.

What's not to love about a statue of Frank! The man was a legend and deserves more recognition for his genius, and I don't use that word lightly!

It's a good photo opportunity

Iconic Timperley statue! Love seeing it when I go into Timperley!

One for your bucket list . Along with the pyramids, the Great Barrier Reef and the Empire state.

Monument to Timperley's most famous resident. No sign of Little Frank though.

Frank-tastic x. Now, lets get one for Little Frank...sign the petition :-)

Great place to visit for fans of the great man. It's a quality piece.

Easy to miss but a friend from out of area was keen to see it. Worth a quick visit

Always gives me a lift when I visit Frank, the man is a legend.

Nice to see Frank in all his glory in his home town!

Visited it for the first time 2 days ago. Fantastic. As soon as you see it it puts a massive smile on your face.

Found the statue a tad small but great
