Re: A street monument/scupture in Accrington

I have a very nice cast iron plaque just inside the front door which a friend brought me over -it says Accrington 1900 and features a pair of clogs in the center and in the background are various factories, smoking chimneys and the viaduct -these are very representative of the towns history and could be worked into a nice sculpture, i would also add in some of the cobbled streets and finally the water which was originally so important to the industrial revolution -I think it's important to celebrate the hard-working people who spent their lives in the mills, factories and mines and shaped the town as it is.
