Kingston High St

By Simon Pain 31 March 2023

Today’s walk is another High St walk, this time in Kingston upon Thames. In fact we start the walk at The Thames before heading into the town centre, across the Marketplace, over to the railway station and then finishing at the famous telephone box art.

Chimp - Jaska

Jaska. Male, Age 17. #ChimpsAreFamily #LoveTheLast Title: Wild Chimp Bipedal Walking. It was discovered that, when necessary, chimps can walk bipedally or on two legs. This was seen during a polio epidemic when a chimp lost the use of his arm. He was able to walk on his legs looking very much like a human! Sculpture by Gillie and Marc 2022.
