Irwell Sculpture Trail - Ulrich Ruckheim

Ulrich Ruckheim

On the site of the former Outwood Colliery, Ulrich Ruckriem has created one of his largest stone settings to date. It is composed of ten large stone pieces set over a number of locations; one column marks each of the two main entrances, a group of seven tall slabs are installed of a flat plateau, and the largest slab, 25 feet (7.6 m) in height, marks the former railway track. These stones are split horizontally and/or vertically into several parts then reassembled into their original forms. 53°33′03″N 2°20′23″W / 53.550778°N 2.339731°W / 53.550778; -2.339731 (Rail Track)
