Report on the new Metal Sculpture at Town Foot in Hawes, of a Farmer and his animals.
The new sculptures replace the much loved Wooden Sculptures that had started to rot away. The “Hawes in Bloom” team carried out the work erecting the sculpture.
In 2014 the Tour de France passed through Hawes and continued onto the Buttertubs Pass and over to Swaledale.
This production looks at the impact of the race on Tourism and the local population, starting from the week before the race and on the race day. There is a short piece on the race coming into Hawes and passing up the steep climbs to the Buttertubs.
