The Big Spider was created by Andrew Whitehead, a nearby resident of the town. The artwork is named by the artist as “Not so Itsy”.
The spider commemorates the local football club, who were, for many years, known as the Spiders, and is built from a range of materials – including a wash tub and a hot dog muffler.
