Headington Shark

Guy constructs a shark into his roof. Becomes tourist attraction

Random find in Oxford, it's not historic but it's fun to go and look at, not sure I would want that sticking out of my roof

Randomly came across this shark sticking out of the roof of a house in Oxford, England!

The one and only headington shark (aka Bill). It has a great story attached to it, and has just had its 25th Birthday!
