Directions
From
the Automata at Opies Museum, return to the main road and turn right,
towards the town centre. This is a very busy road so take care. Go
past the large shops on your right. The Wallgate bridge is ahead of
you. |

The
bridge marks "the boundary" of the town centre. The dark, warm colours
hint at materials found in town centre buildings blending into vibrant
blue green suggesting the Leeds - Liverpool Canal and the River Douglas.
There are references to the pattern of railway tracks overhead, colours
of railway companies, and patterns created by the weaving and spinning
processes in the textile industry. |
