An exciting artwork dedicated to recognising the history and heritage of Worsbrough Mill is set to be revealed on Saturday, 25 January.
The new mural, created by artist Adam Briscoe, aims to show a visual representation of the mill’s history and how the site looks today.
The Barnsley-based artist specialises in hand-drawn architectural art and has risen in popularity over the last 12 months.
Adam’s previous works include a mural revealed last year at The Glass Works, which celebrates the past and present of Barnsley.
Barnsley Museums’ five heritage attractions also feature prominently in many of his other artworks across South Yorkshire.
This partnership is part of Barnsley Museums’ aim of collaborating with local artists to showcase the borough’s rich heritage.
This launch event is the start of Worsbrough Mill’s programme of activities to mark the mill’s 400th anniversary this year.
Councillor Robin Franklin, Cabinet Spokesperson for Regeneration and Culture, said: “We are excited to be working with a talented artist to celebrate Worsbrough Mill’s rich history. Adam’s career has gone from strength to strength, with his stunning artworks surprising and delighting those lucky to see them. This collaboration is one of many success stories where Barnsley Museums have collaborated closely with local artists to highlight the borough’s heritage.”
