Syd Barrett: Cambridge artwork unveiled

An artwork commemorating the life and work of Pink Floyd founding member Syd Barrett has been unveiled.

The public art installation, named CODA, is a collaboration between Suffolk-based artists Clare Palmier and Spadge Hopkins, with fabrication from Gloucestershire-based Cory Burr.

Having grown up in Cambridge, Barrett went on to play with Pink Floyd in the earliest days of the band, but drug issues resulted in him leaving in 1968.

He returned to Cambridge in the 1970s as a semi-recluse.

There had been calls for him to be honoured in the city since his death in 2006.

The artwork is at Cambridge Corn Exchange, where Barrett played his final gig in 1972.
