New sculpture highlights past city industries

Rob George 1st Feb, 2017   0

A BRAND new sculpture has been unveiled as part of the revamp of the former Westbury Community Gardens.

The ‘Trades Tree’ sculpture reflects the industries in which residents of the Arboretum used to work whilst its echoes how the land was used before homes were built.

Local residents have added the sculptures as part of the renovation of the area which has seen the gardens renamed as Westbury Pocket Park.

The sculpture comprises stainless steel and wood sourced from the Wyre Forest while the images were designed by Arboretum resident Peter Moorhouse.




Local firms such as County Enterprises, TCG and F8Creates helped turn the designs into reality.
