| 説明 | At Globe Island in Rugeley.The location of the 2015 Miners Memorial sculptures.The island is at the junctions of Upper Brook Street (pedestrianised), Horse Fair, Sandy Lane, Western Springs Road and Elmore Lane.Sculpture at the end of Upper Brook Street near Globe Island.In the direction of Globe House.Commemorative RailingsA series of railing posts have been fabricated to resemble nails. Along the main road, these are joined by 'ropes' of wrought iron. Four individual bunches of nails are not part of the railings, and are about half their height. Chains and buckles in wrought iron attach the remaining railing posts to eight egg-shaped medallions suspended midway between each of them. Each of the medallions is decorated with symbols of a different local industry, thereby celebrating Rugeley's heritage. On the left, inwards from the roundabout, they depect mining (pit head wheel, pick, shovel and coal), metal working (knife, forceps and breastplate), and hat-making (a top hat). On the right, they depict a startled horse on its hind legs, glass-making (flasks, vases and a retort), engineering (cog wheel with spikes and a machine tool of some kind), blacksmithing (an anvil, hammer and tongs), and possibly clothing (though the military jacket could alternatively refer to the many army camps in the area). The medallions have the same design on both sides. The designs are almost flat, and are bolted onto the black blackground in each case. The railings with the medallions lead up to a wrought iron archway at the entrance to the pedestrianised area, which has the word RUGELEY in gold in a circular medallion at its apex. There are three horseshoes in a vertical line on each side of the archway. The choice of colour scheme and materials are identical to those for the benches recently installed in Elmore Park nearby, and inscribed with the date '1999'. |
