“Three ducks on a wall What could that possibly mean?” you might ask. Well friends let me tell you a story. Right here before us is the Three Ducks mural a tribute to a piece of British television history. These aren’t just any ducks. These are Beswick ducks iconic ceramic mallards. They first appeared in 1938. The Beswick factory in Stoke-on-Trent produced these ducks in various sizes. They became incredibly popular among the growing middle class after World War II. They were even featured in the beloved British soap opera Coronation Street. In the show the ducks hung in the living room of Hilda Ogden a working-class character. The ducks symbolized Hilda’s aspirations for a better life. Her always slightly askew middle duck represented her bad luck. The ducks became so famous that even Dr Who sported a pair on his lapel in a 1979 episode. Today these humble ducks are sought after collector’s items. The Three Ducks mural is a wonderful reminder of this simple yet powerful symbol of hope and aspiration. A tiny piece of British culture now firmly planted in the heart of Auckland. So next time you see a set of flying ducks remember Hilda Ogden and her quirky home decor. And remember this mural a tribute to their enduring charm.
