IT has to be the biggest brick in Beighton...
This giant piece of granite which locals nicknamed the Beighton Boulder is to form part of a sculpture to celebrate life in the village. It will form the central part of the sculpture which will stand at the junction of Robin Lane and Woodhouse Lane.
The granite, which is 1.5m high, travelled over 250 miles from the Galloway granite works in Scotland.
Stonemasons Dan Jones and Lewis Morgan will spend a couple of weeks working on site.
Once complete it will be surrounded by flagstones carved by local people to represent different aspects of Beighton life from mining and farming to the summer gala and BMX bikes.
The sculpture will include a stainless steel disc showing Beighton today and as it was in the past.
The steel will be laser-cut by AET of Holbrook business park.
