THE latest piece in the multi-million pound Irwell Sculpture Trail is nearing completion.
The work of art, entitled In The Bulrushes, is the newest sculpture to be developed for the Trail and is to be sited in Radcliffe by artist William Pym.
In the Bulrushes will be completed and unveiled on Friday May 4 2001 at 5.30pm. having bulrush motifs, a canal barge hidden in the bottom of the bulrushes and illumination to transform the sculpture at night. The artist started the project last year by researching in Radcliffe and is now constructing the four metre tall structure at his studio near Newcastle. Made of galvanised mild steel the sculpture is inspired by the nearby Bury Bolton and Manchester Canal.
