One of a pair of artistic panels on the re-vamped Sainsbury's store nicely set off by the shopping trolleys and traffic cone. The panel shows the Battle of Wodensfelde in 910, the trapmaking industry and the arrival of the Wyrley and Essington Canal. With recent changes in Planning rules this type of public art will no longer be required.
