Commission: Doncaster Metropolitan Borough Council. Lesley Fallais and Brian Jackson were involved in the tiled timeline, but apart from contact at meetings for the Mansion Square Project there was no collaboration between this piece and the Timeline. The Timeline Waymarkers were influenced by considerable community discussion and input. [1]
