| Location: These are to found at the entrance to the Park on the corner of Phoenix Lane and on the footpath running along the eastern edge of the Park. Description: These gateways are composed from vertical forms based upon trees and flowers. They are made from rods of mild steel decorated and held together with leaf and other plant shapes and elements. Inscriptions: Poems appear on these gateways and are displayed as handwriting cast in bronze which has been welded panels on the pieces: Two thousand / years of Thurnscoe / Of streams and ponds / and Springs with hawthorn / bush, wild rose and other thorny things Discovered by the Romans the / Celts and Saxons too who / built their homes upon "the knob" / Second Century A.D.2. The / Domesday book / Said cheeses were / The cause of Thurnscoe's / fame the place was full of farmers until the miners came Black diamonds were the magnet / that brought the people hope / They came from every county / Worked hard but with good cheer and: There is a place in Yorkshire that's known to all as Dearne / With the friendliest of people to whom you all can turn They'll help you when in trouble, in sorrow or in need / Hold out a hand in friendship or do a kindly deed .. These bonds are forged through hardship, through struggle and through strife / Hard work in mines and factories bring out the best in life But the Yorkshire sense of humour will always follow through / Their laughs so hale and hearty will warm your heart anew the poems are signed: Mrs D. Chipp Commission: Project overseen by Groundworks; project manager Laura McBride. Comment: Some, but little, graffiti; although a rubber bicycle has been thrown over the upper branch of the right hand form in the photograph above. |
