Installed to complement the nearby "Birds" sculptures, each panel in the railings represents one of the important industries that contributed to the growth of the town in the nineteenth century and the traditions that local people still feel are important. They depict quarrying, cotton mills, shoe making, brass bands, cricket, theatre, the woollen industry and the Britannia Coconutters.
