The Great Escape - Liverpool, UK - Figurative Public Sculpture on Waymarking.com

The sculpture created for Liverpool City Council was named 'The Great Escape' by Cronshaw. It is a bronze horse, 15 feet (4.6 m) high and 4 tons in weight, formed entirely from rope in a spaghetti fashion. At the tail a piece of rope extends to the ground where a life-size sculpture of a man steps on it, forcing the horse to rear and apparently unravel itself. This scene is said to reflect man's efforts to free himself of slavery

The statue was originally located in Church Street, a shopping area, but was moved and placed into storage when the street was re-paved as part of a pedestrian area. link
