EXPLAINED: Attempts to censor bath s royal crescent phallus fall flat | Rare Historical Photos

A drawing of a "30-foot" phallus that was etched into the pristine lawn in front of Bath's famous Royal Crescent last week lives on despite attempts to censor the image.

The enormous illustration was first spotted by locals on Thursday morning (May 4), lurking on the historic park's lower section in front of one of Bath's most visited architectural landmarks and filming locations. But a mere 24 hours later, the doodle appeared successfully removed after the area was heavily mowed.

However, those keen to conceal the Royal Crescent phallus have been thwarted in their efforts. The highly symmetrical image remains visible and, according to a resident, "has become a tourist attracting in its own right."
