Gates and railings by Richard Criddle

 

  Jane designed the silver and grey geometric patterns which clad the cutting walls of the Hall Green Footbridge structure. The patterns evoke the large industrial buildings and machines of Bilston's past and echo images produced by the Russian artist Chernikov and the work of the Wolverhampton artist Edward Wadsworth in the 1940's.

Jane produced the original design forms which were translated into brickwork patterns in consultation with the consulting engineers Mott Mac Donald.

Jane Kelly was based in Walsall an adjacent Borough to Wolverhampton when she designed this work and she carried out workshops with two local schools.
