"Double Somersault" (1976), a stainless steel sculpture by William Pye, occupying a prominent position in front of Weston Park Museum, in the museum's community garden. The sculpture was commissioned by the Arts Council of England to mark the centenary of the existence of a hospital for children in Sheffield. A children's infirmary was first opened in Brightmore House, Brook Hill on 15th November 1876. Brook Hill is situated at the rear of the remaining portion of the former Jessop Hospital for Women - premises that are currently occupied by The University of Sheffield's Department of Music - and the former St George's Church and graveyard.
