It's not the first time that the iconic brown bolt sculpture has been given a makeover.

Back at Easter it became the Easter bunny with the addition of whiskers and ears.

And last Christmas the landmark was transformed into a giant Christmas pudding.

The giant bolt made of cor-ten steel sits on a mini-roundabout at the junction of Godinton Road and West Street and is intended to celebrate Ashford’s railway heritage.
