Hiking
Barnsley was one of the first towns in the country to commission a permanent COVID memorial sculpture. It stands in the heart of the town centre - in The Glass Works square. It was installed in November 2021.
The sculpture is a mark of the impact of the COVID-19 crisis and honours those we've lost. It also pays tribute to our key workers, volunteers and local communities. It shows ordinary working people who are hugely under represented in sculptures across the world.

So many were effected by Covid. Was nice to see a tribute to not just the workers but all those who stayed at home to care for others.
