Man Engine

Post by Big Jim » Fri Apr 13, 2018 3:31 pm

Some of you may be familiar with the Man Engine from Cornwall. For those of you who are not, it is a 40ft high, metal puppet that was built to celebrate the Cornish tin industry.

This year it (he?) was in South Wales and last night I went over to Swansea to see it.

It was rather impressive.
Mind you it scared the living daylights out of my 6 year old Son & Heir (although he is going through a rather 'wet' stage at the moment and has decided that even the hoover is a bit terrifying)

If it comes anywhere near you I can highly recommend it.

Fantastic pictures. Is there a website or somewhere that I can find out more? I'd like to take my granddaughter to see it.
