Lucie Wedgwood Gates, Chapel Lane, Burslem

 

Lucie Wedgwood Gates, Chapel Lane, Burslem
outside the Health Centre and commissioned by the North Staffordshire NHS Trust

 

There are four separate panels in the gates,
each of which show figures outlined in steel and filled in with wire mesh
 coloured in red, blue, yellow, green, orange, brown and white.

The hands decorating the plate and shaping the pot commemorate the ceramics industry and its significance in the industrial development of the area. Other motifs - the mother holding her baby, the crawling infants, and the obviously healthy children playing children - allude to community health services, past and present, available within the health centre.
