Leicester's World Tree sculpture

Leicester's World Tree sculpture























This five metre high steel sculpture stands at the corner of Melton road and Troon Way, it cost £62,000 and was paid for by the nearby Sainsbury's supermarket. It's branches are filled with bronze light bulbs as a reminder of the former GE-Thorn Lighting factory that stood there before the store was built.

It was unveiled on the 4th of March 2016 by the House Of Commons Speaker John Bercow.
