Remnants of the Mount Pleasant Factory, Churchfields, Kidderminster
The former Tomkinson and Adam carpet factory. Construction started pre-1875. Carpet production finally finished in 2003 and the site is in multiple occupancy as the Churchfields Business Park. The three storey building in the background is a wool store known as the 1902 building and is on the Local List of historic buildings. Quite a bit of the site has been demolished but three buildings are on the Local List.

New and old in Horsefair
New housing next to abandoned housing, which will presumably be replaced with new at some point. They have been in this state for well over a year, at least.

Former Tomkinson & Adam carpet works, Mount Pleasant, Kidderminster
A large carpet works dating back to 1875. In 1999 Tomkinsons joined Gaskells plc to form the country's third largest carpet manufacturer. It appears that Gaskells sold the Kidderminster property c2004 but I am not sure of its current status.

Horse statue (1), Horsefair, Kidderminster
This is a new statue of a galloping horse, unveiled on the 30th June 2011. It was made by Hertfordshire based artist, Tom Hill, from more than 500 old horseshoes. It is in the central triangle of land in the middle of the Horsesfair, which until recently was a bit of a mess. The statue certainly marks a further much-needed improvement in this area of the town.

Horse statue (2), Horsefair, Kidderminster
This attractive galloping horse statue, made of old horseshoes, cost around £12,000 and was funded by Cox Homes, who have built some new housing in this area.
The new statue was created by Tom Hill, who was chosen by local residents from a short-list of four. Originally there was to have been a statue of a white horse, with holes in its body, through which light would shine. Residents were very unhappy with this, and that design gained the nickname the "Edam Horse", because of some similarity with a piece of Edam cheese!
