Turning merrily at Tesco premises, Consett. As their marketing department keep telling us, 'Every little helps.' It's a Rotapec WindRotor and stands at about the same height as the nearby lamp post. I asked someone in the car park what this was and was told it was a sculpture! Update - 2011: This has been removed from the car park Update - 2013: this branch of Tesco has now closed and a much bigger store has opened in the town.
