This Penny farthing bicycle was created by local artist
Robert Longley at his family run business Cranbrook Iron. It was originally
sited on the nearby Wilsley Pound roundabout on the A229/ A262 as part of the
celebrations surrounding the Tour de France cycle race that passed through
Sissinghurst on 8th July 2007. Due to technocrats and insurance premiums, Kent
County Council declined to allow it to remain on the roundabout, so the village
of Sissinghurst gained a new art work. Now sitting proudly on the side of the
A262 that runs through the village, it is a photo opportunity taken by many
passers by.
