Close-up of the top of the six metre high sculpture which stands in Brewery Place, Brewery Wharf. The sculpture by Swillington born Ian Randall represents aspects of the industry of the area in the days gone by. Three boats or barges cast in bronze thrust towards the sky but the stern of the boats become 'feather' like structures of the barlecorn plant. Within the boats there are the oval shapes of pearl barley which are also scattered on the ground providing places to sit. The barley represents the brewing industry which took place here. The giant bronze boats were cast at the foundry in Llanrhaeadr in Wales.
