bullerboY Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Does anyone know anything about the white building on commercial St next to Canada House(the old gas board building)?It looks art deco,it has a carving of a naked woman diving out of the sky with the sun behind her on one side and on the other a naked man diving up out of a sea of flames.Who built it and what do these carvings signify.

Plain Talker Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 I thought the carvings were supposed to represent Icarus and his father. I now realise they can't be, as one of the figures is a female! Duh! http://public-art.shu.ac.uk/sheffield/lin125im.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
