Scarrington Horseshoe Monument

Want to see a seventeen foot high pile of horseshoes? If so, Scarrington is the place to go.

Village blacksmith George Flinders took twenty years to assemble his colossal stack of horseshoes in the Nottinghamshire village of Scarrington. It attracted so much attention that he sold it to an American collector. As reporter Bev Smith finds out, George is a little cagey about how much they were willing to pay for this local landmark. The county council stepped in, paid off the Americans, leaving George smiling as he kept his money and got the postcard concession.
