Maid of the Bridge Anna Gillespie 2018 Like the Roman goddess Juturna, the Maid of the Bridge Sculpture stands guard over the park and the river. Paying tribute to the industrial past of Bath Riversided and signalling the flow of the River Avon, the Maid of the Bridge celebrates the importance of water and heritage to the city of Bath. The cast iron plates taken from the original Victoria Bridge when it was restored in 2015 have been used in the construction of the Maid of the Bridge. The colours have been chosen to reference the river and the heritage green of the Victoria Bridge which is located slightly to the east. Anna Gillespie is a sculptor who lives and works in Bath. The highly technical design was made possible by two Bath-based companies, Ironart who made the sculpture and Buro Happold who provided the engineering expertise. |
