The design is based on an idea developed by artists Marcela Livingstone and Liam Curlin with local people. It all came about by asking the views of local people. The children wanted a modern super hero theme and adults talked about the Steel and Margarine works that used to be here. Retired workers told them about the tea dances they enjoyed. An idea was developed to portray the dance of these two industries which forged people's lives together in Irlam & Cadishead.
