I have no other information
why doesn't the Guide mention them? - Oh, it's not very accurate.
Oh? - I'm researching the new edition.

Great picture, I would probably have crashed had I seen this while driving!

Could this be the relocation of the Doctor Who Experience which I think closed on the 22nd Feb?

Not sure why, but those Daleks look huge?

They were being transported to Nottingham Light Night (covered in this thread: http://tardisbuilders.com/index.php?topic=3317.0)

You're right, they do look huge but I think it's just the perspective of the photo. I'm not sure of the correct measurements, but I think they might *just* squeeze through the TARDIS doors at a push (wasn't the NST designed with that in mind?).

But the eye height looks slightly above the middle window bar... They could be set slightly higher up than the TARDIS.

Also...  I'm amazed there's no TARP on those...
In the cities in the streets there's a tension you can feel,
The breaking strain is fast approaching, guns and riots.
Politicians gamble and lie to save their skins,
And the press get fed the scapegoats,
Public Enema Number One.

Just to add my two pence worth - these are oversized fibreglass replicas of the TARDIS & Daleks and are part of the Blackpool Illuminations.

Check out the Photo Gallery on the page above - specifically Images 14 onwards....

What an interesting article Stiki. Never realised how much talent and effort went into the illuminations.
