I saw the workmen installing them the other day whilst at work - and I thought what the hell is that and what does it signify?
Well now I know - it seems to signify the proximity of the river Rother and the cycle route.
To be fair,whilst I'm not going to moan about the waste of money etc., I think it could prove to be dangerous in some ways.
Time will tell I suppose. Apart from that, it just looks like random bits of offshoot metal cuts bolted to the floor.
Whatever next :-?

Twiggs of Matlock - Kerching.
And to think my Grandmother was a "Twigg"from the same lot.
I know what she would have said :P

Totally agree with your comments scimitar. To me they are total nothingness ( if there is any such word ) if not I'll say crap instead!
Another point is who on earth would link that load of twisted metal with the river and cycling?????

An old snap from Google Street View of the Storforth Lane end of the cycle/foot path.



They cure graffiti by painting the sculptures. So I don't expect the new ones to stay 'silver' for long.
