About
Sculptor: David Annand. This sculpture celebrates the centenary of the federation of the six towns that make up Stoke-on-Trent. The female figure holds a vessel that represents the Staffordshire Hoard, the most valuable collection of Anglo-Saxon gold ever found, and the male figure holds a plate which reflects the city’s ceramic heritage. The names of the six towns that came together to form the city of Stoke-on-Trent are on the plinth that the two figures are standing on.
Have your say on public art in the city...
Stoke-on-Trent City Council is creating a register of public art to help inform planning decisions, related to any future regeneration schemes – as well as seeking to understand how people currently engage with public art in Stoke-on-Trent.
The authority already has a 72-strong inventory of public art installations across the city – some of which you can view here on the Visit Stoke website – and it is looking to develop the list even further – with the help of the city’s residents/visitors.
If you are interested in taking part – please click on the following link to complete the survey:

The engagement exercise will run until Wednesday 31 January 2024.
