Historical Spheres
Engaging factoids about the Broomfield area in huge steel spheres
A striking modern centrepiece for the Saxon Gate development in Essex. Three giant steel spheres provide an interesting visual installation containing a wealth of historical information about Broomfield and the surrounding area.
As part of our in-depth research into Broomfield and the surrounding area we interviewed local historians as well as being granted access to the Essex Records Office.
The installation of the spheres on the public open space allows residents to walk around the installation and read up on the historical facts we built into the installation. The mirrored discs give a pleasing reflection of the sunlight as well as providing historical context to the area.
