Singing Ringing Tree, Burnley
I've stayed off here for a few weeks and I suspect I'm going to regret posting this but thought you might like to know that Burnley's Panopticon has been built.
 Just off the A682 at Crown Point, Burnley. For another view of it someone has posted it onto You Tube already. |

Don't think Burnley residents are bothered about the waste of money, they didn't pay for it.

Re: Singing Ringing Tree, Burnley
It is the most spooky sound ever, I'll agree! You can't hear it until you get about 30ft away from it. It uses the wind to make the noise and so as you're walking down the path all you can hear is the wind (it's on top of a hill) then as you're walking towards it these noises start coming out of the wind.
I think it is the most beautiful of the sculptures in the series. |

Re: Singing Ringing Tree, Burnley
The money, as I have said many times, comes from NWDA and not a penny of it from the Council. Private money has also been put into this by the Towneley family and some trusts, who's land it is on.
