Seed and St Philip's Church
Image: © David Dixon Taken: 11 Mar 2014
Andrew McKeown’s sculpture is of a sycamore seed, which has been enlarged one hundred times. Cast in iron, the sculpture represents new life and growth emerging from the decline of the traditional engineering and manufacturing industries of the area. It was commissioned for the Irwell Sculpture Trail in 2002. Seed is set at ground level in the middle of the open area adjacent to St Philip's Church which is located in the Chapel Street area of Salford. The sculpture symbolises the future and the potential this area has to grow and prosper from the seeds that were planted by the 2002 Regeneration Strategy. It is part of the Irwell Sculpture Trail. The Church of St Philip dates from 1824; it is a Grade II* listed building (English Heritage ID:471589 http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-471589-church-of-st-philip- British Listed Buildings)
