Continue ShoppingBack in 2011 the famous Olly the Ox statue outside Oxford United's Kassam stadium was vandalised, with the entire statue painted a striking pink colour. Although providing the local charity ‘Against Breast Cancer’ with an opportunity for a fundraising campaign it provided a challenge for how to restore the statue to its original glory.
Vandalised Statue
Bradford Decorating and Construction of Oxford were tasked with restoring the statue and they provided an excellent service, using Safer* Paint & Varnish Remover as provided by Conservation Resources.
