It has become a city region icon, and you can’t miss it when driving on the M62. Here are five things you might not know about The Dream in St Helens.

▪️Created by Catalan sculptor Jaume Plensa, The Dream was developed in collaboration with a focus group of local ex-miners and St Helens Council and unveiled in Summer 2009.

▪️It’s situated on the site of the former Sutton Manor Colliery spoil tip, which is now part of Bold Forest Park (also known as Sutton Manor Community Woodland)

▪️It is situated midway between Liverpool and Manchester, just south of Junction 7 on the M62 motorway.

▪️The Dream is a 20-meter-tall sculpture depicting a young girl lying down with her head resting on her hand, symbolizing hope and dreams.

▪️The sculpture represents the region’s industrial heritage and transformation, serving as a reminder of the area’s mining history while also looking towards the future.
