Giant Feather

A Spire for Mansfield, also shortened to A-Spire is a 13-metre (42.7 foot) sculpture, which lies within the centre of Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, England. The sculpture was installed in late 2007, as the third piece of artwork for public art in Mansfield and appears as a large metallic feather. The sculpture was created by two artists; Wolfgang Buttress and Heron, and was intended to mark the legacy of local coal mining, the canaries that once were taken underground, Sherwood Forest in Nottinghamshire, and Mansfield's engineering traditions.
