This piece of sculpture - outside Peacock and Binnington's Bridge Street premises - was commissioned to mark 100 years of mechanical advances in the agricultural industry. It's a fine piece of work but is not glimpsed by as many people as it should be. That's because motorists driving along the nearby A18 will have their eyes fixed to the road as they prepare to take a bend, and also because shrubbery rather masks the piece of industrial art if you approach it from the direction of the River Ancholme. There's a plaque on the base, explaining more about the sculpture. Peacock's, as locals call the firm, has been serving the local farming community for more than a century now.
