A powerful national monument now stands in Leeds Dock 👏
Made with over 100,000 seized blades and knives, the ‘Knife Angel’ has arrived in the city, sparking a conversation about knife crime on our streets 🗣️
Towering at 27 ft tall and weighing 3.5 tonnes, the weapons were collected from over 200 knife amnesties nationwide, moulded together into one incredible and symbolic structure by artist Alfie Bradley.
Personal messages from loved ones are engraved into it too, in memory of those who have lost family and friends to knife crime 💔
The sculpture, commissioned by British Ironworks, has been touring cities across the country since its creation in 2018, but the installation in Leeds marks its first visit to West Yorkshire 🙌
Soon a knife amnesty will be installed next to the statue - for people to hand in their weapons with no criminal consequences.
Each knife deposited is one step closer to a safer future 👏
