The Concrete Elephant, Concrete sculpture in Camberley, England.

The white elephant sculpture stands near The Meadows roundabout, constructed from concrete pipes and solid material to create a full-sized animal representation.

Barbara Jones designed this sculpture in 1963 for Trollope & Colls company to demonstrate their expertise in reinforced concrete during the Lord Mayor's Show.

The elephant has evolved into a central reference point for locals, marking the entrance to the A30 London Road through Surrey Heath.

Visitors can locate this roadside sculpture at coordinates 51.3330387, -0.7709973, visible from multiple angles along the A30 main road.

The sculpture underwent several transformations, including losing its trunk in 1982 and receiving unexpected black spots painted by unknown individuals in 1987.
