A striking sculpture has appeared on Northumberland Street that's causing passers-by to do a double-take.
A life-size model of a cow has been placed on Newcastle's busy shopping street this week and stands outside of the TK Maxx and Moss Bros stores. Made entirely from recycled materials including clothing, the statue aims to raise awareness of the impact that intensive dairy production has on the environment.
The installation called "Herding The Planet,' has been commissioned by Flora Plant, a dairy-free alternative to butter, and created by artist Ptolemy Elrington.
