HWW The Wakeman trail. Look Up

HWW The Wakeman trail.   Look Up
The Wakeman Trail features beautiful installations inspired by Shrewsbury's famed architecture - comprising thousands of low-relief, ceramic tiles of windows, doorways and door-knockers from across the town - created by generations of Wakeman Students. The aim of the displays is to encourage visitors and residents, young and old, to ‘look up’ and recognise and appreciate the town’s rich heritage.

Mike Griffiths, former Director of Arts at The Wakeman School and Arts College, said the inspiration for the trail came from a conversation with his pupils in the 1980s. “Talking to pupils in my first lesson, I asked what they had seen on their way to school,” he said, “and the answer I got was ‘nothing’.

The Wakeman collection includes "at least" 1,000 stoneware tablets made by pupils over 30 years, and the artwork can be seen around the town. This panel can be found on the riverside near the English Bridge.
