Tumblin' Cherubs a.k.a. The Fanfares

Fanfare I

The climbing and tumbling cherubs on the tower of the building opposite the Grand Theatre are the work of Robin Campbell and follow the idea that some of the cherubs found decorating the dress circle balcony in the theatre have run away from there to explore the outside city. The artwork dates from 1984.


The plaque, featured above, is known as Fanfare I and was added to the tower in 1987.
