Mellor, made by Arthur Dewberry of Old Road, Whaley Bridge. Jane Hallam, nominator, writes: "A modern and aesthetic piece of wrought iron work ... blends in with traditional stone cottages."


08 - Welcome to Marple Bridge sign
At the Peace Garden, Marple Bridge, by Georgina Hargreaves, local artist, Nominated by Linda Coase: "Depicts the charm of this beautiful village and says You have arrived. Light in design ... an upbeat impression of Marple Bridge."


09 - Mary, Joseph and Jesus
Display in ironwork by Wayne Chaisty of Iron wood, Marple. Usually shown in Market Street, Marple, at Christmas.


10 - "Midnight" Tree Sculpture by chainsaw artist Andrew Frost
