Ramblers ramble, statues stet, Anthony Gormley at Crosby beach, Liverpool

            According to Wikipedia:-

'Another Place is a piece of modern sculpture by Sir Antony Gormley. It consists of 100 cast iron figures facing towards the sea. The figures are modelled on the artist's own naked body.

After being exhibited at several locations across Europe, it was permanently installed at Crosby Beach in northwestern England. The work proved controversial due to safety concerns, the suggestion of environmental damage from tourism and the "offensive" nature of the naked statues. At a meeting on 7 March 2007, Sefton Metropolitan Borough Council decided that the sculptures will remain on Crosby Beach permanently.'

'Construction and history

A view of one of the figures
The work consists of cast iron figures which face out to sea, spread over a 2-mile (3.2 km) stretch of the beach between Waterloo and Blundellsands. Each figure is 189 cm tall (nearly 6 feet 2½ inches) and weighs around 650 kg (over 1400 lb). In common with most of Gormley's work, the figures are cast replicas of his own body. As the tides ebb and flow, the figures are, respectively, revealed and submerged by the sea.

The figures were cast at two foundries: Hargreaves Foundry in Halifax, West Yorkshire and the Joseph and Jesse Siddons Foundry in West Bromwich.

Another Place was first exhibited on the beach of Cuxhaven, Germany, in 1997 followed by Stavanger in Norway and De Panne in Belgium.'
