Link to Headington Shark PageNow over 21 years old and still standing! This was erected in 1986 as a protest by American born Bill Heine who stayed in Oxford after his postgraduate degree at Balliol College. It’s 25 foot long and Bill successfully overcame the ire of local town planners to keep it up. You can read how on the linked site.

Bill is now a presenter for Radio Oxford. I think for this one act with the shark, never mind his cinema naming end-run around the planners (read that on the linked site as well) he should be made an honorary Englishman.
