Summary

[edit]
Description

A look around Victoria Square in Droitwich Spa.


Saltworkers statue by John McKenna. Made in 1998 of bronze.

It is close to St Andrew's Street and the Raven Hotel. Between Lloyds Bank and Droitwich Spa Library


The sculpture depicts a family of saltworkers involved in the process of manufacturing salt. There are three figures, a man standing bare chested holds a salt rake over a tub of brine, his wife wearing a thin top tips a lump of salt out of a tub, and the child shapes the lumps of salt with a bat. The family form a 360 degree grouping. The water feature froths, within a trough, to replicate the a tank of boiling brine. Lumps of salt at the base of the sculpture dry out, and wait to be shaped. A barge waits alongside the boy, ready to collect the lumps of salt. At night the statue is lit by a light on the nearby library.
