Australia has a Stratford on Avon and so does England, though presumably the latter came first. New Zealand has a Stratford on Patea with the town's name bestowed because the Patea somehow resembles the English Avon, an hypothesis I was unable to test in my short time there.
Anyway, I'm sure I've seen the guy in the first photo somewhere else.

And have a look at this! It's the only Glockenspiel in NZ for 5 minutes four times a day it comes to life with words and music from Romeo and Juliet.

An olde worlde map of the town, with quasi-Elizabethan toilets nearby!

And here's the piece de resistance: Romeo and Juliet talking on their balcony to some background music whose composer I could not identify. Alas, the glockenspiel is on the main street and a constant string of heavy trucks and buses passes by, their noise somewhat drowning out the performance. The local council should stop the traffic briefly during each performance.
