New High Street, Headington , Oxford.
Local radio presenter Bill Heine (1945-2019) ran repertory cinemas in Oxford, The Penultimate Picture Palace and The Moulin Rouge.
He and his friend sculptor John Buckley designed a giant pair of hands for the marquee above the former, and a giant pair of legs above the latter.
In 1986 they built a 25 foot fibreglass shark that appears to be crashing through the roof of his house in Headington, Oxford.
City council were not amused and asked for it to be taken down, but it’s become such a celebrated landmark it now has a preservation order. | Posted on 21/May/2024 23:52:19
