Telling the story of Time through hope.

Being at one time local to the area, Florence Nightingale -the mother of the nursing profession and modern hospital care - provided the inspiration for this unique time sculpture. Prominently situated at the front entrance of the Royal Derby Hospital, the piece depicts the flame from the "lady with the lamp", instilling feelings of comfort and hope. The timepiece also reminds us of the passage of time, of human frailty and remembrance of the past. As it tells its story of time, the clock serves as a beacon; the shimmering effect of the warm and cradling light suggesting compassion and reassurance.
