About
Sculptors: Dashyline. The Czech village of Lidice was destroyed by the Nazi’s in 1942 in retaliation for the assassination of Nazi Lieutenant General and Deputy Reich Protector of Bohemia and Moravia Reinhard Heydrich. Hundreds of men, women and children died. The massacre inspired Stoke-on-Trent city councillor Barnett Stross to raise funds, along with local coal miners, for the rebuilding of the village.
Lidice was eventually rebuilt and the sculpture is dedicated to unearthing the story of Stoke-on-Trent’s unique relationship with the village. Miners tags cover the artwork each one stamped with a code identifying a member of the public who has promised to share the story of Lidice with two other people.
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.
