HR_101

“The Corten weathered Steel artwork draws inspiration from the city’s rich industrial heritage, it pays homage to landmarks like the Skylon, munitions production and the Special Metals Wiggin site serving as beacons of resilience, creativity, and progress. This amalgamation of history and modernity encapsulates the essence of Herefords industrial soul, echoing the vibrant creativity that has shaped our city.” – Rich Makin
