Solar Spring Sharing - 29 March 2017

Bethnal Green Road on a wet Boxing Day 2012.

The romantic fantasy is of a snow-covered city at Christmas time. This is the reality - if London does get snow it is more likely to be in February than December.

50 years ago though, a cold front brought four inches of snow to London on Boxing Day 1962, heralding one of the coldest winters London has experienced in living memory. The Big Freeze continued until early March.

2nd February, 2.30pm. The sculpture by Peter Dean, called "Weaving Identities", was erected in 2003 and partly conceals CCTV cameras. The figures were cast following photos and sketches that the artist made of the various sporting activities that take place on Weavers Field, whilst the ribbons through the middle represent silk strands and commemorate the Hugenot Weavers who settled in the area from the 17th Century and indirectly gave the park its name.
