| Saltburn's marvellous knitting masterpiece on the pier. |
MINDLESS vandals have torn down a 50-yard long knitting
masterpiece on Saltburn’s pier, which has boosted tourism in recent weeks.
The huge woollen scarf, which depicts scenes from the
Olympics as a tribute to this year’s games, was cruelly vandalised on Friday.
The sensationally detailed piece, which includes teddies
skiing and rifle shooting, was made by a
mysterious group of ‘yarnbombers’ who secretly tied it to the pier’s handrail.
It has led to thousands of tourists flocking to the quiet
seaside town to see it in recent weeks and it has even hit national news.
One woman even went so far as to call it “the Banksy of the
knitting world” on Twitter.
Saltburn-by-the-Sea has also been in the news this
week after police held an eight-hour stand-off with a woman believed to be in
possession of a bomb.
She was arrested and the incident ended safely.
