Created by artist and sculptor Carole Vincent the artwork features a large sundial design and fountain. The artwork was commissioned by Plymouth City Council as part of the pedestrianisation of the City Centre in 1987. The work was officially launched on 22 July 1988 by Queen Elizabeth II and commemorates the ‘Armada 400’ celebrations in the city. (Image courtesy of Plymouth Herald image archive) Cast in concrete with Terrazzo and stainless steel, the sundial also features 12 plinths around the outside. Information panels on top of the stone plinths offer in detail ways to ‘read’ the sundial in a range of different languages. The information plinths were made a particular feature of in 2010 when they were covered with decorative textiles as part of ‘Mrs Smith’s hit on Plymouth sundial’ – a secret commission by Plymouth College of Art. Guerrilla textiles installed overnight to the surprise of the public! The sundial is set to G.M.T which differs in the summer (B.S.T) by one hour in advance. The sun is also due south in Plymouth 17 minutes later than it is at Greenwich; therefore at some points of the year the dial runs 1 hour 17 minutes behind G.M.T. About the Artist Carole Vincent (1939-2019) was an artist working in concrete. She lived and worked in Boscastle, Cornwall. Painter as well as sculptor, she explored the use of natural colour and texture in concrete for sculpture. Her work with pigments achieved remarkable success, opening new doors to architects, engineers and planners. Her passion was to work on commissions for specific environments, ranging from public spaces to individual buildings and gardens.

The pub was demolished in the 1990s but the sign remained as a symbol for the community. The artist worked with the local residents and school to refurbish the sign with a new design inspired by memories of the pub and its landlord.

In 2015, Benji Kirkpatrick presented his ‘Bendrix’ project; an exploration into the songwriting of Jimi Hendrix. Known for his pioneering and influential guitar work, Hendrix’s skill as a songwriter was often overlooked and the project (an hilarious amalgamation of respective names...) aimed to peel away the layers of guitar, psychedelia and the era to uncover the lyricism of Hendrix in a stripped back setting. 10 years on, in 2025, Benji reprises the project marking 55 years since the death of the ground breaking musician. Being his first real musical icon, Hendrix has been a big influence on Benji’s work, albeit in a somewhat subtle way as Benji is known for his exploits on the UK folk scene! The full album, ‘Hendrix Songs’, released with the original project will be performed live, with a little reworking here and there and a generous helping of newly worked up material from the guitarist’s catalogue. “Songs like The Wind Cries Mary, May This Be Love and Angel reveal Hendrix as a sensitive writer, which balances out his reputation as an axe wielding showman. Some of the songs are a real challenge to bring into a solo acoustic setting but the journey of doing that is very rewarding and the material stands up to this kind of reinterpretation.” - BK. As well as solo, Benji performs with Bellowhead and Seth Lakeman; was a member of Steeleye Span and Faustus and has worked with a plethora of musicians across the wider folk, roots and acoustic scene. “A fine tribute to Hendrix and a fine album from Benji Kirkpatrick” - Irish Post. “A rare chance to hear the songs stripped back the their atmospheric essentials” – Sunday Times. “The Wind Cries Mary and May This Be Love sound like lyrical folk songs... A well performed set.” - The Guardian. Information Source: Barbican Theatre | eventbrite
