London, May 2023

“This sculpture by artists Tim and Hattie Coppard was erected in 1996 as part of the Bethnal Green City Challenge Regeneration Programme and marks one of the entrances to Brick Lane market. The threads are a reminder of the importance of the garment and textile industries in this part of London and of the many communities who have lived and worked in the area.” (Plaque)
