'Walt', the seven feet-high sculpture, was installed in Walton-le-Dale and seemingly sawed from his foundations earlier this week
“Walt”, as he had been christened by locals, was installed at the junction Carrwood Road, Carrwood Way and Valley View, in Walton-le-Dale, last August. However, within hours of his first birthday, the seven feet-high sculpture was gone – seemingly sawed from his foundations in an almost industrial-scale operation that has left his local creator as devastated as he is dumbfounded.
It is thought that Walt went missing late on Sunday evening or during the early hours of Monday morning . As well as being “gutted” by the disappearance of the stag – which he made to the scale of a red deer – Danny says that the culprits are unlikely to get whatever they were hoping from the theft. “We’d have to see what kind of a state it was in when it came back – especially what the paint was like and if the structure had been damaged. But I’m a time-served fabricated welder, so it’d be doable I’d made big stuff before, but never anything like this for a roundabout – so when I got the offer I thought it was an excellent opportunity to make something good…and a lot of work went into it.”
