Take a look at this picture, many of us pass him on the bus often enough and don't even acknowledge him any more but how good does it look here!

Maybe more of these should be done around sheffield, because personally i love it, and this picture has just reminded me how superb it is!

Isn't it just different shades of brick in reality, I didn't think it had any colour at all. I may be wrong though.

see ha ha ha nobody thinks about it or notices it yet this picture makes you picture it in your head?

Are there any more of these around Sheffield?

My ex-husband worked at a builders merchants in the early 80s and sourced all the different coloured bricks for the architect involved. He was very proud of the Steelworker and as he is no longer with us, I think it's a brilliant memorial to him!!!!!

I still say that it's Norman Wisdom!

He's not far from where I work - I always thought he looked like Jean-Luc Picard from Star Trek
