Millennium Dial Armillary, Armillary sphere in Sutton High Street, England.
The Millennium Dial Armillary is a metal sculpture on Sutton High Street made of steel ribs supported by four metal spheres. The structure serves as a sundial and simultaneously displays distances to nearby areas such as Kingston upon Thames.
The Rotary Club of Sutton erected this sculpture in December 2000 to mark the new millennium. The installation was part of a community initiative to create an enduring contribution to the public space.
The installation features the inscription 'Service Above Self' and recognizes the contributions of Sutton residents to Rotary charitable activities.
You will find the sculpture outside the Waterstones bookshop on High Street, making the location easy to identify. The site lies in the town center, offering straightforward access and good visibility.
Six local Rotary Clubs collaborated with various sponsors to bring this project to life. This partnership among multiple organizations shows the community's commitment to a shared endeavor.
