Malt Shovel, Steel sculpture at New Street and High Street intersection in Burton upon Trent, England.
The stainless steel sculpture measures 9 meters in height and features a bottle-shaped opening in its blade for pedestrian passage.
The East Staffordshire Borough Council commissioned artist Andrew Hazell in 1998 to create this sculpture, funded through a National Lottery grant.
The sculpture represents a brewing tool, connecting to Burton upon Trent's extensive history as a major center of beer production in England.
Visitors can locate the Malt Shovel at the coordinates 52.8011544, -1.6313007, where New Street meets High Street in the town center.
The installation generated local discussions when a Burton Mail poll revealed that 116 out of 120 respondents expressed opposition to the sculpture.
