Cattery’s world cup artwork

A Weston Hills cattery has netted an unusual new attraction created to celebrate Queen Elizabeth II’s Jubilee.

Owner and football fan Geoff Wright recently bought the sculpture carved by Yorkshire artist Shane Green after seeing it as part of an exhibition at a fair at Burleigh Park recently.

He’s put the sculpture, which marks England’s 1966 World Cup win, up at the Stevedon Cattery he runs alongside wife Norma.

“It was made to celebrate the jubilee and I believe carved out of wood from the Queen’s Sandringham estate to mark the jubilee,” Arsenal fan Geoff said. “With all the history and being a sports fan I just thought I had to have it.

“It deserves to be a place where people can see it, so I thought we’d put it up at the cattery.

“We’re quite a busy cattery and people have been in awe at the site of seeing it standing in the year.

“It does look amazing and it all feels like ‘it’s coming home’.”
