A popular sculpture with children of William Pirie in Piries Place in Horsham West Sussex. He used to give children rides.


William Pirie, with his donkey and cart, are very popular in Pirie's Place. It was clearly designed for children to climb aboard the cart and join Pirie on the front seat. Mr Pirie was the headmaster of Collyers between 1822 and 1868 and he built a row of Victorian Cottages to fund his retirement, naming them Piries Place. The cottages disappeared at some time as yet undetermined and the area, by then known as Burton's Yard, was redeveloped. The new shopping centre revived the name
