Heritage Trail and Artwork
In recent years a range of artwork has been installed in the village to represent aspects of the rich history and heritage of the area. Here are some examples of this work that’s available for residents and visitors to appreciate.
Two pieces of artwork unveiled in Skinningrove in 2012 have much in common. Both were created by ceramic artist Glynis Johnson with help from the local community (including a primary school) and are situated near each other on the wall of Riverside Building in New Company Row. They both refer to the history, heritage and folklore of the village and also have a ‘watery’ theme. These storywall ceramics of the Skinningrove Merman and the floods of 2000 are worth a special visit because they complement each other so effectively. Please see the accounts and photographs that follow.
Local Artist
These paintings were made in the 1970s and 1980s at a time when the very future of Skinningrove was at risk because of plans to demolish much of the housing.
They show people, activities and places that represent the village at a time when there was a strong possibility of a whole way of life disappearing.
The artist is Stan Binks.
