About
Sculptor: Colin Melbourne. This sculpture of a steelworker illustrates the struggle of the Shelton Bar steelworkers to retain their livelihood and preserve the future of their works. Unfortunately they lost their fight and after more than 100 years of continuous operation the blast furnaces were shut down on 23 June 1978 and 2,000 workers were made redundant. Rolling works continued at the works but the whole works were closed in April 2000.
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.
