Henry Moore Exiled in Yorkshire
Henry Moore’s sculpture “Draped Seated Woman”, made 1957 - 8, was purchased by the London County Council and located on the Stifford Estate, Jamaica Street, near Stepney Green- a new council estate development of three 17 storey towers (approved to be built 1958 and completed in 1961). During it’s residence on the Stifford Estate, Moore’s sculpture became affectionately named by local residents as “Old Flo”.
The Stifford Estate was demolished in 1997 - and the sculpture was loaned for an indefinite period to the “Yorkshire Sculpture Park”.

Underground Maps - Dr Maxwell J. Roberts
Underground Maps Unravelled, Explorations in Information Design
Exhibition of maps by Maxwell Roberts and the launch of a beautifully illustrated book of seriously researched proposals for underground (Metro) maps.... even suggested alterations to the iconic London Underground map.
"Travel by public transport in any city around the world, and the chances are that sooner or later you will find a stylised map whose routes have been drawn as straight lines – horizontal, vertical, or 45º diagonals – joined by tight corners. The geography has been considerably distorted, and most of the surface details are missing, but the people who produced the map hope that you will find it easy to understand, and that it will encourage you to make use of the network more often."
