This rather lovely canal artwork was designed and painted some while ago by pupils from Saltaire Primary School. It was initially sited beside Hirst Lock but then, for some reason, the Canal and River Trust or some such body decided it wasn't going to be allowed there any longer and it was moved to decorate the side of a building in Shipley. Now, the original has been scanned and reproduced digitally and a copy has once again been placed near the lock. I think it's rather good; a lovely colourful addition to the area. I believe we have to thank the Bradford 2025 City of Culture for this. As well as the large scale professional events, they are sponsoring a multitude of small, local, community initiatives - art, music, theatre, competitions and cultural events.
That is very nicely done by a primary school group! I’m so glad that it has been restored!
