Where: on the verge area adjacent to the Shortland Wharf, east of the drive way.
The details are on the Thames Public Art Facebook site:
"Penny Farthing is made of mostly re-used materials including re-cycled galvinised pipe. Needing a few key items before he could begin the project, creator Bruce Harper, happened to mention to Thames builder, John Liddell, to keep an eye out for a wheelbarrow wheel if he ever saw one.
Just days later, John found an old hand forged goldmining wheelbarrow wheel under a house he was working on. The wheel is over 140 years old and the homeowner kindly donated the wheel to Bruce for the sculpture. This is now the smaller wheel."
Other examples of Harper's work can be seen at: The entrance to the aerodrome by the Thames Icon sign, near the Thames Tennis Courts; at the end of Albert Street, at the Burke Street Wharf, and by the Thames Croquet Club.
