Millennium mosaic.

One of the many mosaics constructed 16 years ago to commemorate the Millennium and placed along the banks of the Leeds-Liverpool canal near Brierfield in North-West England. Each one depicts different scenes from this area's past.....this one shows (from top to bottom) Cotton mills which were until quite recently the dominant industry in this area; The coming of the railway; Agricultural scenes and one of the horse-drawn canal boats which were used during the 18th & 19th century to bring American cotton from the ports of Liverpool and Manchester to be woven into cloth.
