Modern art takes on the loggerheads

Bollard, painted by artist Snids. in Fish Street in Shrewsbury

To celebrate 600 years of the loggerheads, the Shrewsbury Tourism Business group, BID, commissioned a few artists to paint a couple of broadband-cabinets and bollards, as part of the overall decoration of the town.

Their mission?  To interpret the loggerheads for 2025.

 The artist Snids took a bollard in the town's Fish Street.  She’s got the colours right – gold & blue – and. though she has not represented the leopard-heads in the traditional trinities, she has painted exactly six separate leopard-heads, which… is (sorta) a double-set of loggerheads!
