Cockshaw Burn: Trash Screens

Cockshaw Burn: Trash Screens

Through a new partnership with the Environment Agency a series of artworks and designs are being integrated into a major flood defence scheme along Cockshaw Burn which runs through the centre of Hexham.

Designer-blacksmith Matthew Fedden is working closely with the Environment Agency's engineers to design a series of new trash screens for the burn, which make allusion to patterns of water flow.
