An artist who created a work at a Gloucestershire railway station using dried blood has destroyed it.
Lorna Buchanan had painted the floor of an old goods shed at Stroud Station with 30 litres of dried lamb's blood.
But government officials from Defra said the piece posed a health risk and Ms Buchanan was forced to remove it.
"Fragile Memorial" was a tribute to men from Stroud who died in World War I. Ms Buchanan said she will recreate the piece using water soluble dye.
