Inscription description
partial transcription of information board: The Timber Stack / Designed and constructed by Kathryn Sumroy 2014 / "The Timber stack" represents a unique piece of Chelmsford’s history. It is a visual clue to the / industrial past of the Chelmer & Blackwater Navigation, and its Importance to the City. / The Timber Stack designed by Kathryn Sumroy, was inspired by these images of men unloading the planks by hand and piling them on the / canal side before they were sawn and crafted. / The interrelationships between the planks create spaces where you can sit, climb or rest / your shopping, whilst enjoying the view down / the waterway. In so doing, you are part of the / ever changing life of the basin as it shifts from being an industrial hub for the city, to a place of relaxation and pleasure. / The commission was developed in partnership between Taylor Wimpey East London and Chelmsford City Council by artist and / producer Zoe Chamberlain. It was funded by Taylor Wimpry as part of Section106 planning obligation to fund a contribution for public artwork which creates community benefit and enhances a sense of place for local residents.
