Three works of art were completed by Sheffield-based artist Pete McKee in Spring 2016. In the centre of the roundabout is the bronze Grandad Fox character. The stainless steel figure on the gable end to the left symbolises Samuel Fox (1815-87) who was a British industrialist and businessman noted for developing the Paragon umbrella frame. He also the founded the Stocksbridge steelworks. On the right is a striking (14 x 5) m work which is painted on the gable end of the Sandersons Department Store.
