GARDENS
The Bow Quarter is set in several acres of landscaped gardens including a roof terrace, ponds, fountains and mature trees and an installation called Lest We Forget by the sculptor Maurice Agis (1931-2009), who had been born in east London. The piece is a visual representation of ‘phossy jaw’ (phosphorus-induced necrosis of the jaw), a disease which affected many of the workers in the Bryant and May factory. The sculpture comprises two steel pieces representing jaw bones and several pieces of smoothed Provencal stone carved to represent teeth.
