Wooden sculptures added to Hare Hill Park
Date published: 22 September 2016
Six wooden sculptures of animals have been installed in Hare Hill Park.
The animals were handcrafted (no machinery) by the inmates of Buckley Hall Prison and took over 12 months to complete.
Jeff Holt, of workshop nine in the prison, worked closely with the inmates and liaised with the Friends Of Hare Hill Park.
Stephen Burke, Chairman of Friends of Hare Hill Park, said: "We are so pleased with the quality and workmanship of these animals. They are going to form part of a sculpture trail in the park for the children and if the reception of local children and park visitors today is anything to go by, it will be a success."
