To celebrate Big Ben's 150th birthday, local businessmen in Cheshire have recreated the famous London landmark in a field.
Only this 70 foot version is made of more than 500 bales of straw. Built around a steel frame, it even has a working clock that lights up at night.
The project was the brainchild of two local businessmen who have built a straw sculpture every year for the past 11 years to celebrate summer.
The sculpture will stay up until after Christmas.

What's the deal with all this wheat and straw art at the moment? Have the Arts Council been doing some outreach to farmers?
