“Intriguing, atmospheric, spooky” are some of the many descriptions you might use on visiting the ‘light show’ at Chadkirk Farm Estate near Stockport.
No less than 1000 fluorescent light tubes have been planted into a field on either side of the river Goyt. As dusk descends, the soft glow of these light sticks that conduct the energy field from the overhead power cables, becomes increasingly apparent. There is a crackling sound all around you. Further adding to the experience are the Pipistrelle bats darting about overhead.
The wide TV, radio and press coverage has encouraged a wider range of people to visit the river valley than usual. Families rub shoulders with keen photographers.
This installation is the creation of artist Richard Box and has been commissioned by Stockport Council to raise awareness of their proposed project to build a new bridge over the river Goyt. This is one of 79 schemes that make up Sustrans Connect2 which is an exciting UK-wide project to improve local travel by making walking and cycling routes for the short journeys we all make every day.
Connect 2 will be one of the projects that will compete for Big Lottery Funding. This will be decided by a public vote following a Granada TV programme in December this year.
To support this project, you can start by registering your details with www.sustransconnect2.org.uk so that you can be kept updated with information on the TV vote.
The light show is on until 4th October and the Chadkirk Estate off Otterspool Road near Marple in Stockport.
who doesn't love spark shows ? even criminals love those fancy lights fliyying over the sky.
