Three bronze and gold sculptures—a horned cow, a cricket bat with stumps, and a greyhound—have been installed along Cricketers Way in Westhoughton. The artworks commemorate key aspects of the town’s history and culture.
The project was funded by money that had remained unused in a local bank account for 16 years. The sculptures aim to highlight Westhoughton’s agricultural roots, sporting traditions, and greyhound racing heritage.
**Why this matters**
These sculptures provide a visible connection to Westhoughton’s past, fostering community pride and preserving local stories. By investing long-held funds into public art, the town has created a lasting tribute that can engage residents and visitors alike.
