A TAPESTRY was unveiled at Redditch Library this week (Monday 6 Sept) that shows the town’s history.
The ‘Redditch Remembered in Thread’ tapestry was given to the library by the Redditch Remembered Through Art Group, who created it to commemorate 100 years since the end of World War 1.
The design and idea began in 2014, to commemorate 100 years since the end of World War 1 and the men of the town who never came home.
Michele Campbell, library manager at Redditch Library said: “The tapestry is now proudly hanging in Redditch Library and we’re really pleased to have it here where all of our customers can see it and really appreciate the work that has gone into creating a real celebration of Redditch.”
Councillor Matt Dormer, cabinet member for communities, said: “The tapestry is such a meaningful and beautifully crafted piece of local artwork.
“Redditch has a lot of memories to look back on and it’s wonderful to see them all come together in a piece of artwork.”
