The Steel Man

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Steel Man (formerly Man of Steel) will be a 32-metre-high sculpture and visitor centre located in Rotherham, at Junction 34 of the M1. Its plans, designed by sculptor Steve Mehdi, were approved in 2012.[1]

To help fund the project, a 'Heart of Steel' appeal was launched in July 2014. A 2.5 metre, 1.5 tonne "Heart of Steel" will sit inside the figure, with up to 150,000 names of people from across the region engraved on it.[2]
