Background Information

Amongst the sculptures exhibited at The Old Fire Engine House in Ely, is a piece inspired by Hardy’s move to Pope Mill Farm near Haverhill. The expressionistic sculpture shows Haverhill’s medieval church and 19th century factory within a ring of contemporary figures. The sculpture is thought to be a social observation on the town’s expansion during the early 1970s and the effect of the London Overspill Development on the inhabitants of Haverhill.
