Nice photo, Andy. Though you've not captured the legs.*

Haringey's website gives the information that the Sculpture, called "Skeleton Horse" was installed in 2005. It was designed and constructed by artist Ann Carrington, artmakers from Artscope, students from King Alfred School, Hampstead, pupils from Woodlands Park School, Haringey, and by local residents.

It take sits inspiration a local history tale of 'The Skeleton Horse of High Cross', an actual skeleton horse that once stood nearby."

I've not seen other pieces by Ann Carrington. But I liked this photo of her Shell Ladies on Margate prom.

Sorry about the legs, I didn't think they were that interesting - I spotted this while cycling past, stopped to have a look & took a photo on a cameraphone. But thanks for the information about the sculpture Alan, I'll read up on the 'The Skeleton Horse of High Cross' tale.
