Due to Covid-19 the Grand Prix was cancelled leaving Mr C at a loose end. I convinced him that we should go and see the Knife Angel on Sunday afternoon just in case movements around the Telford area are restricted (due to the dreaded virus) in the coming week or two. Neither of us wanted to miss it in its current location.

Part of my suggestion for an afternoon out after visiting the Knife Angel was a short walk around Telford Town Park. The weather was perfect. Although Mr C was not in the mood and reluctant he indulged me. He was pleasantly surprised with what the Town Park has to offer and wants to go back for a longer walk to explore more of the history of the area.

The sculpture, made from over 100,000 seized blades, was specifically created to highlight the negative effects of violent behaviour whilst solidifying our critical need for social change. Not only does the Angel act as a catalyst for turning the tide on violent and aggressive behaviour, but it is also acts as a beautiful memorial designed to celebrate those lives who have been lost through these violent and thoughtless actions.
