Meaningful Icon for Stocksbridge.
Obtain the large interesting machine frame which lies abandoned on the track behind the Stocksbridge steelworks and erect it within the new Fox Valley development area as a lasting monument to the heavy industry which gave rise to our town.
Why is this important?
The current caricature statue in the new development is receiving almost unanimous criticism and in no way reflects the history of our valley as a world-leading producer of special steels.
Industrial relics around Attercliffe and within the grounds of Northern General Hospital create a great deal of interest and are meaningful to the area. We should emulate this idea.
Once erected, the monument would be indestructible requiring no maintenence and would generate a lot of interest and pride in the industry which was responsible for the very existence of our town.
