Dist:0.4km<br/>Created by sculptor Jason Thomson in consultation with local schoolchildren. Oddly the child on the bird's back is wearing what appear to be work gloves - perhaps reflecting the area's proud industrial heritage.

Dist:0.4km<br/>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.

Dist:0.4km<br/>This building has, so I believe, had an interesting past ... at one time it was owned and run as a Dr Barnardo's Children's Home ... and at another it was a 'temporary Vicarage for the Holy Trinity Church on Nursery Street when their original Vicarage was destroyed by bombs in WW2. Christ Church's Vicarage is just two doors away.

Dist:0.5km<br/>Opposite Christ Church and next door to The Vicarage ... must mean the best neighbours in Sheffield.

Dist:0.5km<br/>I understand this row of houses was, at one point in it's history, a Children's Home ... it is currently getting a makeover into apartments.
