Edward Street Park Entrance Pillars.

Not a park in the struct sense of the word. There is a small flat green area with basketball hoops and a grass slope surrounded by student accommodation.

A pair of carved Yorkstone posts to mark the entrance to Edward Street Park, Sheffield. The subtle form of the entrance features is based on a pair of parentheses/brackets and the intricate pattern is made up of a repeated asterisk. Bronze asterisk studs have been installed in throughout the park. These symbols give a nod to the old Stevenson Blake Type Foundry which once occupied the lower end of Edward Street Park.

Location – Edward Street Park, Sheffield

Material – Yorkstone and Cast Bronze
