In some countries despite its beauty the Peacock is a symbol of bad luck and especially to those
the rear of the tail faces.
The Peacock has been salvaged from the grounds of the closed HMP Ashwell and installation is
happening at the rear of the County Library with the rear of it tail feathers pointing in the direction
of Rutland County Council.
If all the worldwide superstitions are true thank goodness they chose not to face the centre of the town
I look forward to seeing and photographing the planted sculpture.
The foundations were laid using child labour from
Oakham School who kindly volunteered
today's installation was carried out by
local company Paint It & Plant It
