'Landed' by Lee Johnson

'Landed' shows three actual dock-workers, Johnny Ringwood, a former seaman, Patrick Holland, a stevedore shown here as a tally clerk, and Mark Tibbs, a former professional boxer from Canning Town.

The art work 'Landed' by Lee Johnson is very much a local initiate, driven by Johnny Ringwood who saw a similar tribute to steelworkers on a visit to Sheffield’s Meadowhall shopping centre and thought something similar would be suitable for the docks.
