Based on photographs taken of local people shopping in Burnley, the artist designed six panel sculptures and Richard Hill developed them in hand forged stainless steel.

The stainless steel louvred panels are a feature of the artist's work at the time, where an image is cast and forged onto a panel made up of a series of flat bars. The bars are twisted to an angle so that as the viewer walks around the work, the image changes. When seen from the front the image is solid and the surround is void, but as the viewer moves to the side the image breaks up and becomes void and the surround changes to solid.

The panels are positioned around the points of axis of the sun mosaic and cloud paving, the figures' clothing reflects the diversity of the 'sunshine and showers' weather.

At night a ground-mounted lamp shines up at each panel, illuminating the figures with dramatic effect.
