Stone Gateway - Sculpture by Peter Price

Location: Berryhill Greenway Installed: 2000 Commissioned by: Stoke on Trent City Council Three gateways were constructed (Stone, timber and metal). The Stone Gateway is the nearest to the Scheduled Ancient Monument, and was intended to commemorate the earliest history of the area before it was settled by farmers. This explains the use of stone, the presence of the animals, the hunting scene, and possibly the standing figure in robes (it may be a monk or a nun). However, it cannot explain the depiction of the young girl in T-shirt and shorts, the man in the bobble hat, or the melting watch. The last of these could be an allusion to the idea of a time line.

Metal Gateway - Sculpture by Phillip Hardaker

Location: Berryhill Greenway - cycleway at entrance to park nearest to Wadebridge Road Installed: 2000 Commissioned by: Stoke on Trent City Council Three gateways were constructed (Stone, timber and metal). The Metal Gateway is the furthest of the three Gateways from the Scheduled Ancient Monument, and thus reflects the most recent activity, namely mining and modern industry, in the area. The use of metal was part of the brief in that the material reflected the stage of human development on the site during its period as a centre of industrial activity. This grey steel archway stands on two circular brick plinths either side of the path at one of the entrances into Berryhill Fields. It is decorated with animals and birds to be seen in the local area. Two rabbits appear on either side of the arch, while along the top of the arch from left to right are a snail, two birds either side of an owl and a fish. A bat hangs from below the archway.
