Description:
Detail.
Location: In front of the Children's Hospital, Western Bank. It was moved from its original position at the main entrance of the Children's Hospital to a site further along the front facade of the building when the entrance was altered.
[Update: 2000] A second removal has taken place. Double Somersault is now sited in the adjacent Clarkson Street where it stands in a car park by the side of the road. New images to appear shortly. (A-Z p98 2B)
Description: Aptly named, the tubing twists over and over at the end of a vertical thrust.
Commission: Sheffield Children's Hospital in its centenary year. Details appear on a plaque onsite:
Inscription: "DOUBLE SOMERSAULT" / by William Pye / Erected in 1976 by / The Centenary Committee / of the Children's Hospital / with the aid of the Arts Council
Comment: A similar piece by Pye was sited for some years close to the Mappin Art Gallery in neighbouring Weston Park.
