SK6008 : Mammoth at Watermead Park

near to Birstall, Leicestershire, Great Britain

Mammoth at Watermead Park
Mammoth at Watermead Park
This is the second mammoth sculpture to be created at Watermead Country Park.
The first mammoth was made in about 2000 and was never completed; it was carved from solid plastic blocks and then coated in a resin material. The tusk holes were left vacant pending some finishing touches.
Somebody from the local philosophical society inserted large fireworks into the tusk sockets and there was soon a spectacular sacrificial bonfire (and no mammoth!).
