Orange Ladybirds, Great Leighs
This modern sculpture of three metal bugs climbing metal blades of grass can be seen at the side of the new A131 Great Leighs By-Pass, Essex. Travelling north, towards Braintree, directly before the Rochester Farm Bridge, look to the left and there they can be seen standing about 4m tall!

A corner of Little Leighs
This road was once part of the busy A.131, which now has a new bypass, and it is also on the course of a Roman road. The road off to the left leads to the parish church.
