Meet the Ancestors: Bill Billings, 2007
Two new people took up residence Secret Garden in 2007. There on the site of the living room of one of the original houses that occupied the site sit an old couple watching the television. The houses were demolished in the late 60s – and it seems almost as if the couple were turned to stone when the demolition took place nearly 50 years ago, because the TV is not a modern day flat screen, but an old 9 inch. This scene is the creation of a group of Art students from Radcliffe School, assisted by artists Bill Billings and Paul Smith, and commissioned by Wolverton Secret Garden Society.
Sadly it was the last piece of art work that Bill Billings was involved in before his death in December 2007.
