You really can’t miss Raymond Mason’s controversial sculpture if you’re passing along Broad Street or visiting the city’s International Convention Centre or Repertory Theatre. Its title, "Forward", is also the city’s motto and this large fibreglass construction depicts Birmingham people striding towards the future. To the rear are factories and some of the Victorian craftsmen and entrepreneurs who made the city great, while at the front is an ordinary family marching forwards. It caused controversy when it was first erected in the early 1990s, but people are now getting used to it—not least children, who often play among its figures.
