Over the last 10 years THS has done a
great deal of work within the grounds of Ridley Hall, and this work includes
the construction of the first two phases of the Millennium Trail. Three
significant trees have been lost within the grounds within the last three
years. One, a sycamore, was felled because of old age, leaving a substantial
stump, and a large lime and a smaller yew on either side of the Millennium
Trail were killed by a lightning strike and are still standing. We would like
to mark our 10th anniversary by commissioning sculptures created
from these three trees, involving the users of our service and others from
the local community. Ridley Hall itself (boarding wing for Haydon Bridge High School) is also keen to
support this project. We believe the sculptures will enhance the beautiful grounds
of Ridley Hall. We are working with a sculptor, Didier, who has developed some
excellent ideas for the sculptures. Some examples of Didier’s work are shown
below. We are now trying to secure funding for what we believe will be an
exciting project.
New
project developments will be published here. |
