Harry from Sheffield made knives
he also had seventeen wives
Folk said he was blameless
his conscience was stainless
Some people lead very strange lives

The Knife Angel
We have been experiencing increasing knife crime in the UK, with the majority of cases affecting our young men and boys. Deaths are increasing and there are few towns that have not experienced death or serious injuries. The police have regular knife amnesties, and seize weapons when they find them.
As part of the campaign to draw attention to this useless waste of life and the seriousness of carrying knives, a huge sculpture, made of blades of all shapes and sizes that have been handed in, or seized, has been created. It is called The Knife Angel.
You can read about the Knife Angel here or see the inspiration behind it, its creation, and its current location in Derby in the videos below.
Incidentally, the little map of Derby, shown in the link above, shows MHA “Methodist Homes for the Aged” , where I worked for 17 years prior to retirement.
