Improved entrance to Shenstone Park, Crayford
An improved south-eastern entrance to Shenstone Park in Crayford, adjacent to London Road, has recently been created. It includes these cows and an information board telling how the cows are linked to the former David Evans and Co., printers of luxury silks on the banks of the River Cray nearby for more than 150 years before closing in 2002. The park extends up the hill beyond.The fields that are now Shenstone Park were grazed in the 19th century by a herd of cows belonging to David Evans & Co. Evans favoured a dyeing technique using the roots of the madder plant to create a bright red dye. The cows' dung was used to wash the fabrics and fix the colours so that they remained bright over time. This ancient method of cloth dyeing made David Evans' silks famous world-wide and hence the choice of the cows for this sculpture.
