Bird and Boy Sculpture, Rutland Road, Sheffield

This sculpture, by local artist Jason Thomson, features a bird with the figure of a boy on its back. The bird is (probably) a Kestrel, reflecting those which nest and fly in the nearby Parkwood Springs area. On the bird's back is a young boy wearing big gloves ... possibly reflecting those worn by the workmen in the heavy industries Sheffield is associated with. The sculpture, made from cast iron, was erected early in 2008 and has now 'rusted' to a more distinctive colour. It is placed close to one of the entrances to Parkwood Springs country park. Image
