"Replaying The Brookfield Hydro"

Aldi commissioned this artwork to commemorate the Brookfield Hydro Cinema which formerly stood on this site on London Road, Poynton. The sculptural panel is fabricated from weathering and stainless steel with a vitreous glass mosaic inlay, as a reference to the art deco style of the original frontage. The panel depicts the Brookfield Hydro Cinema in its hay day with a shaft of projected light depicted in polished stainless steel to symbolise the silver screen. Highlighted in the beam are Charlie Chaplin and Greta Garbo, film icons of the era.
