Sneinton Dragon
A statue of a dragon by sculptor Robert Stubley is located by the roadside on Sneinton Hermitage. It was commissioned by Nottingham City Council and was unveiled on November 21, 2006. The dragon stands 7 feet tall, has a wingspan of 15 feet and took 3 months to finish. It is made out of stainless steel. During the Christmas period, somebody puts a Santa hat on the dragon. Unfortunately, the hat always disappears a few days later.

Famous quotes containing the word dragon:

In this altar-piece the knight,
Who grips his long spear so to push

Loved the lady; and it’s plain
The half-dead dragon was her thought....”
