The Three Printers

Wilson was instrumental in the rescue of the only public monument to journalism, Three Printers by Wilfred Dudeney (1911–1989). Originally sited in New Street Square behind Fleet Street, the sculpture disappeared during the square's 2005 redevelopment and was destined for a builder's crusher until his intervention.
