Chichester Road Gang Sculptures on Centurion's Way

Highlight • Monument

The “Chichester Road Gang” sculptures mark the location where the now disused Chichester to Midhurst railway line, now the Centurion’s Way, crosses the old Roman Road. The site was previous occupied by old wagon loading bays.

The sculptures were created by Cornish sculptor David Kemp, using empty oxygen gas cylinders, and they include a ganger with a bowler hat, workers with spades and a surveyor with a theodolite.
