Ceramic 'S'

Apex Park was formerly a large clay and brick works. Somerset's low-lying lands are good for industrial brick-making clays and hence there were several small pits dug since the 1700s. However, this area was particularly rich, allowing bigger efforts to be made. It was formerly the Colthurst, Symons & Company works and also the Apex Tile Company. This curved feature nods to the old works with several ceramic crowns, but also commemorates the Golden Jubilee in 2012. See Image] for more.
