    Tips

    David Appleyard's Factory Girls, created in 2010, celebrates the female workers of Metropolitan Vickers, at one time the largest factory in Western Europe. The enamelled figures are inspired by the products of the electrical engineering firm in Trafford Park and are each named after a former employee. To create the piece, the artist collaborated with young people from Ordsall Community Arts, Eccles Youth Club, Salford Foundation and Salford College.
