Join us this Sunday for a walk round town and unlock the story of Nottingham's first sporting superstar. THE BENDIGO STORY Date: Sun, 7 Sept • 14:00 Location: Nottingham Tourism Information Centre eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-bendigo-…
Despite many conversations and messages about the old Bendigo pub, no one seemed to know who created the statue that was installed above the entrance door in 1958. Until now. bendigofunds.co.uk/tag/ken-merrym… #sneinton
Thanks to all the aspiring broadcast journos at NottsTV for their enthusiasm and best wishes to everyone who has followed our progress. Hope to see some of you when our statue becomes a reality. 👊

Notts TV will stop broadcasting on Friday, August 29 2025. The planned closure has been brought forward from November following the departures of several key staff members to pursue new opportunities. Full story: nottstv.com/notts-tv-to-st…
It's now 145 years on from the day Bendigo died. bendigofunds.co.uk/what-funeral-d…
Our statue of Bendigo will be a significant piece of public art. There are a number of potential sites and Nottingham City Council have asked us to gather ‘letters of support’ from the public. If you are able to do this, then send a letter as a PDF to: [email protected]
The new Bendigo Building on Bath Street towers over St Mary's Rest Garden and the memorial over Bendigo's grave. It is a £70m 13 storey tower with 752 rooms. The bricks are typical Nottingham red colour with contrasting blue. #Nottingham #bathstreet #modernnottingham
In 1832 a 20 year old lit up the boxing world with his skills, power and speed. A southpaw with a biblical name of Bendigo. Now another man is doing it, also a southpaw with a biblical name of Moses. Who’s ready for the weekend? #ItaumaWhyte #dazn #queensberry Photo©️Queensberry
'Bendigo Mill' by S. T. Gill ⛏️✨🇦🇺🪃 In this painting, he captured the scene of a mill (boxing match) in 1852 at Bendigo’s Creek where the gold rush began a year earlier. Gill also turned to alcohol and died the same year as Bendigo in 1880 and was buried in a pauper's grave
We started our project in 2016 but you could sat that the campaign actually started in 1890 when publicans John Ellis and William Hulse raised the money to pay for the memorial lion that still stands over Bendigo’s grave. bendigofunds.co.uk/endorsements/

We are in touch with illustrator Geoff Hocking in Bendigo Australia. He's a big fan of the Bendigo story. Not only has he illustrated a book titled 'Bendy The Boy Who Liked To Box', he even made this bronze maquette of him. Maybe the City of Bendigo will get a statue too?
Morning so its another Big day in Boxing history they are certainly coming with more frequency. All week people have been asking me who will win but as I often say I'll sit on the fence Usyk is an amazing tricky seasoned champion. Daniel who I have known for many years has some…

Thrilled to report on the progress with our statue. Bendigo is coming home to Nottingham, it's just about when and where. Check out this article for how we visited the foundry and discovered that he's not the only legendary boxer to emerge in bronze. bendigofunds.co.uk/what-is-happen…
