Not my title - this is the correct name of this modern sculpture in Hucknall Market Place. Created by artist Liz Lemon, it is designed to reflect Hucknall's industrial heritage, with other references to lacemaking and Ada Lovelace, the daughter of Lord Byron, credited with designing the precursor to the modern computer. The crown is formed from the mixer from a Rolls Royce Tay jet engine emphasising the local contribution that Rolls Royce's factory makes to the local economy.
