7. PAVEMENT POEMS 1987

On Tyrrel Street, in front of the Co-operative Bank, notice the Pavement Poems.

The carved paving stones of natural sandstone were part of a City Council scheme. The poems were written by three pupils from Carlton Bolling Upper School and chosen by the Poet Laureate, Ted Hughes; "As they Dance" by Shamin Kauser, "The Photograph" by Alvina Alam and "The Sun" by Afsana Kauser.

Turn right from Tyrrel Street into the lower part of Ivegate and stop at the wrought iron gate.
