St George's Square, Hebden Bridge, Calderdale, West Yorkshire, England UK
This sculpture of a ‘fustian knife’, by Mike Williams, was erected in St George’s Square, Hebden Bridge, in 2008. It also serves as a sun-dial. It was cast from bronze in a Sheffield foundry and stainless steel fabricated by a firm in Halifax. Fustian knives were used in the manufacture of corduroy, a fabric for which Hebden Bridge was famous. This large scale replica of a Fustian knife points directly north towards Nutclough Mill, former home of Hebden Bridge Fustian Manufacturing Society Ltd, founded in 1870 - in its day, the largest worker-producer co-operative in Britain.
