Burrs Country Park: Industrial Heritage and Sculptures
Highlight • Historical Site
It is home to three works of art that form a part of the Irwell Sculpture Trail. At the park's south-east entrance, artist David Kemp's Waterwheel represents the constant turn of the wheel of time and the change that the Irwell Valley continues to see.
Close together in the north-west of the park are Stone Cycle by Julie Edwards and Picnic Area by David Fryer. Stone Cycle is constructed from repurposed stone from a dismantled bridge on Bury's Market Street. Picnic Area is a mouse trap on a gigantic scale, representing the way the park has been transformed into a leisure haven to draw people in, like mice to cheese.
