Outside JCB’s headquarters in Rocester, near Uttoxeter, sits an eye-catching mechanical sculpture which looks as if it might have escaped from the set of a sci-fi horror flick. Titled The Fosser, which loosely translates from the Latin word for ‘digger’, the metal structure has become a landmark of the Staffordshire countryside. The Fosser was commissioned by JCB chairman Anthony Bamford, and was designed and built in 1979 by the Polish-born metalwork sculptor Walenty Pytel. It is constructed entirely of JCB parts welded together, and stands 45ft high and weighs 36 tonnes. At the time of its creation, it was the largest steel structure in Europe.

Great little Cafe with friendly staff. Although on the main road, cyclists can take their bikes round the back of the cafe. Enter by the side of the barbers next door.
