The Dream Country Park, St Helens, Merseyside (7 of 9)
The Dream Country Park 281123
A walk with Ted, our dog, on a frosty late November morning, around the Dream Country Park in St Helens, Merseyside. The park is built on reclaimed land previously used by the Sutton Manor colliery. The construction of the 66ft high Dream statue was won by the town – one of four public arts projects awarded nationally by a Channel Four television programme, ‘The Big Art Project’, together with The Art Fund and Arts Council England.. The sculptor/designer was Jaume Plensa. The walk was also, probably, my last chance to look across to the cooling towers of the Fidlers Ferry former power station: four of them are due to be demolished on December 3rd.
