Huntington Sculpture Trail Installed


 

   Wallpaper Tree   -  Stainless Steel 
The designs for this ‘wallpaper-for-all-seasons’ were taken from original wallpapers by James Huntington (1826-1878) working at Belgrave Mill, Darwen

    Flow  -  stainless steel - by Marjan Wouda
Spinning, turning, appearing to wind up and down, this sculpture represents the ebb and flow of the fortunes of Darwen and its inhabitants.



   Lost For Words   -  Mild Steel  
“Oh, John!” and “Oh my lamb!”  were the last words spoken by two of the victims who died in the Bold Venture Lodge flood disaster, as reported in the Blackburn Standard of August 30th, 1848.
