Pilgrims arriving at Canterbury Cathedral this summer have been surprised to see a textile hanging behind the high altar and in front of the Thomas Becket shrine site.

To some it may look slightly familiar. Is there a London bus seat or a tube train seat somewhere in the middle?

The work, called Moon Landing, is an immersive music and textile collaboration.

The inspiration is the little-known story of the women who wove the integrated computer circuits and memory cores which enabled the 1969 moon landing.

The 52 foot hanging is by British textile artist Margo Selby who is responding to the moon landing score, an original musical piece, by award-winning composer Helen Caddick.

But thoughts of buses and trains are not out of place for Margo Selby has been commissioned by London Underground and worked with the London Transport Museum in creating a unique fabric to highlight the long relationship between London Transport, good design and moquettes.

Her distinctive bath mats, towels and duvets are available from John Lewis.
