William Mitchell artwork Untitled (1966) Concrete with pebble aggregate, coloured tiles Opened in 1966 at the Allerton Building


William Mitchell, Untitled (1966) Concrete with pebble aggregate, coloured tiles Opened in 1966 the Allerton Building was designed by Manchester-based architects' practice Halliday Meecham. The practice commissioned the London based sculptor William Mitchell to produce a piece of landscape art to provide a point of interest in the forecourt of the building. The three figures are each positioned 'so that the morning and evening sunshines will fall on the faces of the figures. Though untitled, names for the figures have been suggested including the Minut Men and Faith, Hope and Charity. The sculptures were Grade Il listed in January 2012.
