Journeys to Hidden Places: Posh Pillar and Her Daughters arrive at Wincobank Hill

Background to this blog

Since November 2008, Y SO? have been working with communities in both neighbourhoods to develop proposals for a series of exciting creative projects that will make a difference to people's everyday lives in the area. This blog is a place to discuss ideas, see the latest information and get involved in making things happen in North Sheffield! The blog will have up-to-date information about the projects being implemented and you can have a look at the full strategy that was produced on the Council's website, click here.

Posh Pillar and Her Daughters arrive at Wincobank Hill

The Posh Pillars are now standing elegantly at the Jenkin Road entrance to Wincobank Hill. The main pillar shows a poem by local girl, Bryn Wainwright, aged 9 years old, and sculpture by Brian Fell. Two others show text by poet Ebenezer Elliott 'The Ranter' and a memorial to Mary Ann Rawson, Wincobank Hall resident and anti-slavery campaigner, with sculpture by Owen Cunningham.
