Sculpture: After the Antique: A monumental plaster bust of Hercules modern 90cm high After an original marble bust now in the British Museum, which was found in the 18th century buried in lava at the foot of Mount Vesuvius. While there had long been an interest in classical antiquity, the arrival of the Elgin marbles in London, and their display at the British Museum from 1816, opened up new markets for plaster casts as museums and academies in Britain and on the Continent began to develop more comprehensive cast collections for teaching purposes and for wider display.

He was born in Deansgate House, Manchester, the fourth of ten children of James Holt Heron, a cotton merchant in 1838 he was handpicked by Thomas Potter to become the first Town Clerk of Manchester. Heron was unique amongst British municipal administrators due to his longevity and influence. He remained as Town Clerk from the inception of the role until his death in 1889. Amongst his contemporaries he was described as a consummate ruler of men, where his will was considered law in all civic matters and common public perception was that he was not only the Town Clerk but Mayor and Corporation all in one. He was instrumental in bringing clean water to Manchester by constructing the Longdendale chain of reservoirs - then the largest such project in the world. He was knighted by Queen Victoria in 1869 and in 1879 Alderman John King gifted the Manchester Corporation a bust of Heron sculpted by Warrington Wood. From 1879 he served as consultant Town Clerk and spent his later years in Bournemouth. He died in Cannes, France in December 1889.
