In the summer of 2025, artist and filmmaker Michael Burkitt went on a mission to find George!
In 1985, Scunthorpe Borough Council and the Lincolnshire & Humberside Arts Group commissioned a new public artwork by Glaswegian artist George Massey. For 40 years, this unusual landmark has stood in Scunthorpe town centre — but how much do we really know about it?
Michael takes you on a journey to uncover the story behind this forgotten piece of public art and the artist who created it.
📽️ First screened at fountain arts, Scunthorpe, North Lincolnshire on Fri 5 September 2025.
