THE public artwork to remember the brave Barnsley soldiers who fell in the Battle of the Somme has been nominated for a national award.
Light Lines by artists, musson+retallick, commissioned by Barnsley Council as part of its Somme centenary commemorations, has been nominated for a National Civic Trust Award and is the only piece of artwork outside of London to be nominated.
The work was on display in front of the town hall from July 1 until Remembrance Sunday to reflect the length of the battle in which more than 800 Barnsley men were killed.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
