One of King Bladud's pigs is back on the streets of Bath after being renovated.

King Bladud's Pigs in Bath was a 2008 street art project that saw 104 model pigs put out on the streets of Bath, raising £200,000 for the Two Tunnels cycle project.

Gitte Dawson, who led the King Bladud's Pigs project and is an active member of the Two Tunnels Campaign Group, organised for Rebirth of Waterloo to be refurbished.

The pig has been seen by thousands of tourists in Orange Grove, near the abbey.

It was looking a bit worn, and in need of some TLC.

The pig is now back in position after a lick of paint, and has been renamed Sulis.

The project, which saw the individually painted life-size pig sculptures positioned around Bath, entertained residents and visitors alike, and was followed by a similar scheme involving lions.
