Bas relief in underpass.
Both walls of this underpass, which is the pedestrian crossing of St George's Way, are adorned with this bas relief. The odd look is because it has been stitched together in Adobe. There are a number of repeated features. This is only about half of the length of one side.

Clock tower, Stevenage
This shows the bottom section of Stevenage's iconic clock tower. The panel on the left commemorates Stevenage Development Corporation which had responsibility for planning and building the town between 1946 (when it was first designated as a new town, one of a number in the home counties intended to absorb London 'overspill' population) and 1980. The panel on the right has a bronze relief by Fanta Belsky of Lewis Silkin, Minister for Town and Country Planning in the Attlee government.

Town Square, Stevenage
Stevenage was the first of a series of new towns to be designated after the Second World War; they were located in a ring around London and were designed to absorb overspill population - people displaced by slum clearance and bomb damage. The architecture is unfashionable now , but in the post-war period it was seen as cutting-edge. The pedestrianised shopping centre was built between 1957 and 1959 and opened by HM the Queen; it was the first of its kind in the country and given the name Queensway. At its heart is Town Square incorporating this iconic clock tower designed by Leonard Vincent and now grade II listed. On the lower panel, facing the camera, is a bronze relief of Lewis Silkin - Minister of Town and Country Planning in the Attlee government.
In this view it is raining quite heavily - the first significant rain in south east England for several weeks.
