This attractive galloping horse statue, made of old horseshoes, cost around £12,000 and was funded by Cox Homes, who have built some new housing in this area. The new statue was created by Tom Hill, who was chosen by local residents from a short-list of four. Originally there was to have been a statue of a white horse, with holes in its body, through which light would shine. Residents were very unhappy with this, and that design gained the nickname the "Edam Horse", because of some similarity with a piece of Edam cheese! Image Image
