Something new to see in Locke Park

Have you seen them yet?

Taylormade Signs & Banners have put three (yes three!) interpretation boards in Locke Park: for the Tower, Bandstand and Joseph Locke Statue.
Have you seen them? All three?

It’s great to see people having a look at the information with old images of these reminders of our heritage. And to hear how much they are appreciated.

Thanks to Barnsley Round Table and Kingstone Ward Alliance who, together with ourselves, Friends of Locke Park, funded them. And to Taylormade Signs for producing them.
There are more to come too!

Film-inspired wall paintings

A recently completed, very popular, addition to Locke Park. Images of Narnia and The NeverEnding Story join those based on the films Labyrinth and Dark Crystal. Great work undertaken by the gifted artist Andy B. Lots to enjoy …

Sarah Dewey visited and produced this collage of characters in the paintings. Much appreciated! Every visit you see something different!!

And then there’s the fairy garden too!
