    It's actually called 'Slipstream' and it was designed by Richard Wilson, it does actually say Made In Hull on a plaque next to it.

    Me too. Has Hull actually had a better year in our history than 2014?

    For millions of people to see 'made in hull' is fantastic. Hopefully those who haven't heard of the city before may investigate

    A pal of mine just sent this

    "For anyone who saw the Slipstream sculpture on "the one show", myself and my esteemed colleagues assembled that, painstakingly, including some extremely difficult cladding work, unfortunately we weren't allowed even to walk through there today incase we lowered the tone for all those claiming credit for its detail. Such is the life of a brilliant cladder.."
