Description

A group of Salford residents, young and old, go on a journey of 'mystery, suspense and intrigue' on July 9th 2005, on a coach trip combining communal enjoyment with a cultural purpose. As the participants visit some of the public works of art around the North West, from the local Thomas Heatherwick sculpture ‘B of the Bang’ in East Manchester to the iconic Skyhooks of Trafford Park, they give their opinions on what they see, assess whether the works relate to the history and industrial history of the area, and consider which ones have the ‘Wow’ factor.
