A memorial statue to Billy Fury is sited at Liverpool’s Albert Dock. It is close by the Piermaster’s House and overlooks the Mersey, where Billy – real name Ronald Wycherley – once worked on tugboats. Billy Fury, one of Britain’s top pop stars of the early 1960s, was born on 17 April 1940 in the Dingle area of Liverpool and died of heart failure in London on 28 January 1983, aged just 42. The statue, by sculptor Tom Murphy, was funded by his fans and unveiled in 2003. It was donated to National Museums Liverpool by his fan club and moved to its current position in 2007.  Post code is approximate.
