The Headington Shark
Highlight • Monument
Placed by a local radio presenter in 1986 was done so as a statement to "Express someone feeling totally impotent and ripping a hole in their roof out of a sense of impotence and anger and desperation... It is saying something about CND, nuclear power, Chernobyl and Nagasaki".
