Rugby, The Leicester Road Viaduct

The northern parts of Rugby, including Brownsover, Newbold and the Cosford industrial and employment area, are all severed by the Leicester Road and the West Coast Main Line Railway. This Connect2 project sweeps over both, firstly on the majestic Leicester Road Viaduct and secondly on a new bridge over the electrified lines. This Connect2 proposal also links the canal towpaths to the town centre and the town centre to Cawston via the Sow Brook and the proposed new railway paths.

"This is a great honour; I love the thought of becoming part of the landscape alongside Dick Wagstaff and the great Richard Burton. I'm hoping that my sculpture might be able to persuade Burton's sculpture to quote some poetry of an evening, or at least a bit of War of the Worlds." Rob Brydon
