Image: © Neil Owen Taken: 20 Sep 2013
This red-brick sculpture stands at the end of Drove Road, by the roundabout with the A370. It was created by Rod Harris and acknowledges the old Royal Pottery factory that was located near this site. There was a 27m seam of fine clay that was used for many different ceramic products. The structure is based on silica micro-organisms that are part of the make-up of clay. See Image] for a closer look at the form.
