The Burton Cooper, Bronze statue in Cooper's Square, Burton upon Trent, England.

The Burton Cooper statue depicts a craftsman in traditional clothing working on a wooden barrel with precise attention to details like hand veins and floor-length apron.

Created by James Butler in 1977, the statue marks the completion of Cooper's Square shopping center and received funding from local breweries and civic organizations.

The sculpture represents the cooper trade that supported Burton upon Trent's brewing industry, where craftsmen manufactured and repaired wooden barrels for beer storage.

Located inside Cooper's Square shopping center since 1994, the bronze figure stands 1.5 meters tall on a marble plinth with informative plaques on each side.

The cooper figure wears an authentic apron with a single hole, a specific detail characteristic of Burton coopers' traditional work attire.
