The Knife Angel is a stunning 27ft, 3.5 tonne sculpture of an angel made out of 100,000 confiscated knives received from 43 Police Forces across the UK.
Originating from The British Ironwork Centre in Oswestry and created by sculptor Alfie Bradley, it has been on tour of towns and cities around Britain raising awareness of the issues of knife crime and all forms of violence and aggression.
I visited the Knife Angel at the British Ironwork Centre near Oswestry, England, before going off on its next visit. You can check the schedule for the Knife Angel’s current location here.

The British Ironworks Centre is a great place to visit and is very educational with lots of information on each of the animal sculptures.
They have two beautiful showrooms filled with a variety of unique products for the home and interiors to hardware and garden and a lovely cafe.
