The sculpture was designed by John McKenna and installed in 1994. The hands represent the hospital's care for the health of the community, while the brickwork alludes to historic local industries, particularly Stanley's brickyard. Reginald Stanley was one of the founders of the Manor Hospital in the early 20th century; its services moved to the George Eliot hospital site around the time this sculpture was erected.
