Sleeping Iron Giant

When I was a wee bairn, The Sleeping Iron Giant used to be a landmark for me during trips to town in my parents car. I used to know that we were nearly in the city centre every time I saw it.
Although I do remember being a bit scared incase the giant woke up. I’m not exactly sure what damage he could do though, he’s only a head lying on his side. But I think I used to get frightening of his eyes opening.
I think Birmingham City Football Club claim the giant as a bit of a mascot for them during games. His nose will always mysteriously turn blue, so somebody must obviously be very daring with paint. To be perfectly honest, the head isn’t anything special, and it reflects Birmingham as a ‘concrete jungle’ too much. There’s constantly graffiti on it until somebody cleans it off, which is only ever once in a blue moon.
