New £100,000 statue set to be unveiled
Silver Street statue being erected
Bedford's new in-your-face sculpture has been this week's main talking point for shoppers visiting the town centre.
The faces, located in Silver Street, cost 100,000, and are the work of artist Rick Kirby, who has named the piece Reflections Of Bedford.
The design work has been influenced by references to Bedford and, in particular, the history of lace-making locally, as well as recognising Silver Street as the historical site of a mint in the 10th and 11th centuries.
At night, the sculpture will change in appearance through the use of coloured spots with lights set in the ground, illuminating the piece.
