Carousel Ride, Waterside Lincoln. Next to the Empowerment Statue.
Empowerment is a public sculpture in the centre of the city of Lincoln in England. Designed by the artist Steven Broadbent, sponsored by Alstom Power (now Siemens), and completed in 2002, the sculpture spans the River Witham in Lincoln's City Square. It takes the form of two aluminium-and-steel human figures reaching to each other across the water. The design is intended to echo the shape of turbine blades, in recognition of Lincoln's industrial heritage. At 16 metres tall, Empowerment is the largest sculpture in Lincolnshire. Fairground Carousel. The carousel has an extraordinary history, dating back to the fifth century AD. The word ‘carousel’ originated during the Crusades, taken from either the Italian garosello and / or the Spanish carosella, both of which mean ‘little war.’
