B of the Bang


Thomas Heatherwick Studio (2004)
The B of the Bang was constructed to commemorate the 2002 Commonwealth Games in Manchester. Its title is based on Linford Christie's quotation that he would start running a race at the B of the Bang. Standing 56m tall, it is the tallest sculpture in Britain.
