About
Almost hidden in one of the prettiest parts of Ely is the latest addition to the city skyline. A giraffe. That's all. A bit of fun, brilliantly realised by the artist Wesley West from an idea by George Peacock. Sarafa has a metal frame, interwoven with measuring tape, of course. The story of her construction is told on a plaque on site. She arrived in an unseasonal gale, but no animals or humans were harmed in getting her in place, by some miracle.
