The Horsefair now has a horse, unveiled by Councillor Stephen Clee and Kidderminster Mayor Anne Hingley in June 2011.

Artist Tom Hill created the work made of over 500 horse shoes which would have otherwise gone into landfill as they can’t be recycled.

Tom also spend a number of hours talking to local people during the consultation, and a galloping thoroughbred gained the highest number of votes by far.
   

 

Broadwaters Project 2011

     mill1      

King Charles 1st School have been keen to work with the Friends of Broadwaters for some time, and this year helped by the Cooperative Society they funded a project which enabled students to work with urban artists Miss C and IBW to create artwork for the Mill.  Wyre Forest District Council Arts Development created the link with the artists and coordinated workshops to enable students to develop the artwork inspired by Broadwaters Park and the animals that live there.

mill2  After 18 months planning, the work was designed and painted in a week, and was unveiled at an event on the 14th of May, which also saw a plant sale, bouncy castle, fair ground rides, a samba band and Morris Dancing and attracted hundreds of local people.  The work was unveiled by Mark Garnier to a very appreciative audience and makes a fantastic new edition to the park. 
mill3  The Friends Group are very pleased with the artwork which works very well with the colourwash lighting in the Mill.  The group publicised the work proudly on their blogspot which you can reach by following the link, http://bit.ly/broadwaters.
