It forms an iconic focal point within the town centre as part of an award-winning regeneration scheme.
A prominent 8m high steel feature at a major gateway into Bamber Bridge; fabricated in Cor-Ten and stainless steel.
DP Studio were tasked to design a central feature for a new re development in the centre of Bamber Bridge, Lancashire; along with public realm Corten planters and brass plaques.
The brief for the tree was to create a design to emulate a Roman stylised tree similar to ones seen in mosaic patterns.
The Name of the town derives from the Old English 'beam' and 'brycg' meaning 'tree trunk bridge'.
The tree was made up of five layers of 20mm Corten to form the trunk and boughs of the tree and leaves were made from 5mm Brass and aged to form a Verdigris colour.
The whole piece stands 5.5m high and weighs 3.5 tonne.
The ‘Godwit’ totem is a Cor-Ten steel totem incorporating the native ‘Godwit’ bird, complemented by contrasting glass and stainless features installed in the town centre at Longton.
