Description: | Sculpture is situated by cross-roads in circular arrangement of bricks on the ground. Consists of cylindrical base with incised cuts at intervals around the circumference. This forms 5 raised areas. Located in the top one is a bronze relief which has raised images of carthorses and harvesting and I think kthe process of making products (soap) out of lavender. Image of soap with 'Yardley' inscribed. Very basic and simplified imagery. The base sloped inwards and on top is a filigree-like representation of lavender plant with twelve stems and flowers arranged symetrically forming a circle. Additional Information: Lavender - historical/local significance. 'It was inspired by lavender plants and is part of a wider scheme to bring it back into Sutton - which was one of England's major lavender growing districts. It is sited by the area where lavender plants once grew. Plants were actually sited and are growing around the sculpture.' (1) Relates to boroug-wide scheme to revive Sutton's lavender industry.
