View of all 3 Snow Gates.
Location: Saxon Road, [opposite Clyde Road] Heeley. Google maps < https://goo.gl/maps/Jv3Ru > . From Left to Right: Equilibrium (CAMERON) , Sheafscape (BRENT) and River of Life (STRINGER) Commission: This is one of three such 'Snow gates' commissioned to replace three wooden gates that had formerly stood on this site but had fallen into a state of disrepair. The original plan had been to restore the gates, and to add decorative features, but it was found that they were beyond repair. The idea had originated with the 'Friends of the River Sheaf' and was supported by the 'Heely Development Trust' who subsequently took the project over. Funding came from an ‘Awards for All’ grant of £4,860 to cover the provision of the three gates. Six artists submitted proposals in September 2002 and, from these, three artists were commissioned to produce a gate; each to work with pupils from a different local school. The original function of a snow gate was to give access to a river so that snow cleared from the road could be deposited there. At other times these same gates could be used to provide access for firemen in need of water. There are still a few snow gates extant in Sheffield; for example six others in Heeley. |
