Bedwas Road Park, Caerphilly, South Wales | ||
Ceramic circular storyboard seat | ||
Pupils from class 5V of Lansbury Park Junior School chose four local legends and drew the characters, places and events in workshops with Maud Milton. The storyboard seating was part of Groundworks and Islywn's community involvement for a regenerated park. | ||
'Studying our area made us proud to be part of Caerphilly.' Samantha Beynon, 10 'We wanted to put local legends in because they are very interesting and we wanted to let everybody know about them.' Lorna Duggan, 10 'It's great for the children to have had the opportunity to take part in this kind of community project and to see their work faithfully reproduced by the artist.' Stewart Davies, Headteacher Lansbury Park Junior School |
