"A landmark which celebrates Leigh's heritage and future has been unveiled in the town centre.

The Leigh Spindle 2001 - a five metre high, stainless steel cone - was welcomed by Lord Smith of Leigh at a special ceremony in Bradshawgate on Monday.

It's top section of the cone depicts the theme of spinning, both of textiles and cables, while the lower panels represent aspects of Leigh's industrial history.

A little higher up an illuminated section features images of contemporary life in the town."
