SS Journey Sculpture, Handsworth Park Arts Trail

Highlight • Structure

“The SS journey is a representation of the bow of a steam ship with a passenger looking into the distance and to their future.”
Artwork by Luke Perry

The piece was inspired by the journey made by Lukes family friends who made the epic sea crossing from Jamaica to Handsworth in the 1960s, however it speaks to everyone who has come from other parts of Britain or further afield and chosen to make Handsworth their home.

The figure on the bow of the boat is cast in bronze. Hector Pinkney MBE, known to many locally as ‘Mr Handsworth’ modelled for the figure and his reputation of giving a warm welcome to young and old from all communities to the neighbourhood he so dearly loves echoes the aims of the Arts Trail.
