Kind hearted steel workers make statue to honour the NHS

Two kind hearted steelworkers have used their tools to make a statue honouring the work of the NHS in the fight against Coronavirus.

Steve and Liam Harris used their firm's computer software and cutting machine to create the design, which is displayed on Dudley's Cinder Bank Island.

It joins a statue they made previously to honour veterans on Remembrance Day.

The brothers' lives have been touched previously by the compassion of the NHS after their grandfather, and founder of the steel firm, spent many months in Wolverhampton's New Cross Hospital with heart failure before his death.

The brothers have also been involved in the creation of parts used in ventilator making machines, and for oxygen tanks at the Nightingale hospitals.

They say they have had no objections from the council to the presence of the statues.
