From the Wikipedia article
The Big Horn or the Tib Street Horn is a trombone-shaped public sculpture in the Northern Quarter of Manchester, England. It is some 10 m (33 ft) tall and is displayed on the remains of a building that once housed a hat factory. A proposed redevelopment in 2017 of this once industrial and commercial area resulted in the sculpture being taken down and put into storage, it was subsequently installed on Afflecks Palace.
