Description:
|
Detail view with mill stone base. Location: Five Weirs Walk - Salmon Pastures; outside Crescent Works, eastern corner, halfway between Washford and Leveson Bridges. Description: Shows a pike swimming through an abandoned tyre, with the silhouettes of factory roof-tops behind it, and a crane hook suspended in mid air in front of it. The bench rests on millstones, used for forming steel blades, and found near the site. Commission: Five Weirs Walk Trust. Comment: A second bench in the form of a Fish-Knife Salmon is also sited on the Salmon Pastures stretch of Five Weirs Walk. A third bench, showing a newt on a log, was stolen before it was installed.
