The Flame That Never Dies, an iconic 21 meter high public artwork designed by internationally renowned artist Wolfgang Buttress ( www.wolfgangbuttress.com ), has been installed on the old Goldendale Ironworks site in Tunstall, Stoke on Trent. The piece makes reference to the flame that was permanently lit when the ironworks was in operation on the site. To facilitate the community ownership of Golden, Wolfgang was keen to work with a local arts company and commissioned North Staffordshire based participator
Letting in the Light worked in partnership with Tunstall North and Nash Peake Street Residents' Associations to ensure that the local community had the opportunity to be involved in the installation of Golden.
Letting in the Light hosted a large community event on the 4th November 2016 to celebrate the lighting up of Golden.
