The design celebrates Stairfoots' industrial heritage of producing the iconic Codd Bottle the local mining community and the brick works. The local area’s history and heritage is reflected within the work. Developed through a series of workshops and pupils from Barnsley Academy Secondary School. 'Can You See Us', incorporates key industrial notes from the past using the profile of the Codd Bottle’s negative form as the overriding shape. (The main Codd Bottle production factory was in Stairfoot) The piece references the coal industry and the surface design uses prismatic reflective rectangles in a tessellated brick pattern. As the central focal point, a 3D printed piece of coal represents the iconic Codd Bottle marble.
