TALENTED Black Country sculptor Luke Perry has unveiled his latest impressive Edwardian-style creations at a Stourbridge park.

The internationally renowned artist has seen the interpretation panels he designed and made installed at Mary Stevens Park, as part of a number of ongoing improvements to the facility.

These panels, which have been placed around the park, provide visitors with information about the history of it.

Stourbridge-born Mr Perry, who designed and made the pieces at his Cradley Heath studio, said he hopes he has created something of interest that will last for generations.

The steel structures complement the park’s gates that underwent restoration and were reinstalled two years ago.

Mr Perry said: “Mary Stevens is my local park and my two daughters love it so I wanted to do something special for it.

“The interpretation panels tell a bit about the history of the park and normally they are placed on a plinth. But I wanted to do something more in keeping with the park itself.

“The Edwardians and Victorians built things that are still appreciated to this day so I think it is important to create things now that people will look at in 100 years and say, ‘that’s great’.”

Dudley Council is nearing completion of a £3.1million heritage lottery project to revamp Mary Stevens Park. Other improvements include restoring the War Memorial, bandstand and creating a café.
