The Wiend maze
In Wigan there is a tradition of rubbing the foot of Sir Frances Sharp Powell's statue in Mesnes Park (13) and making a wish. This element of interactivity was important to the children who were involved in the design process of the maze. They hope that "doing the Maze" might become a similar feature of everyday life in Wigan.
