Location
Inspired by the British folk art of the canal network, this lioness roams proudly through the city and encourages all who find her to enjoy the Sheffield and Tinsley Canal.
Covered from paw to peepers in the historic Roses & Castles art style – an art form that has been brightening our waterways for over 150 years – she’s a tribute to the rich heritage and importance of our inland waterways.
Artist Roseanna Hanson has lovingly recreated this traditional art style for her design, with iconic colours, patterns and florals that are synonymous with narrowboat life!
