Friday Bench (8) St Peter's Square
This week's bench is by the fountains in St Peter's Square, Stockport, Cheshire. The area was somewhat derelict a few years ago but was recently transformed.
My favourite benches from last week include Deslilas's in Troyes-en-Champagne, the Sylvan Muse's outside a pub in Durham, Malyss's autumn benches, Rune's in Askvik kapell and Denise's bench by a frog fountain.

This is a pretty place to sit on a hot summer day by a refreshing fountain.
ReplyDeleteThis one must win the prize for being the most original bench - I have never seen anything like it. Very modernistic, nut the again, it somehow it fits in very well with the classic buildings in the background.
ReplyDeleteSleek bench. Looks like a giant's anvil.
ReplyDeleteThis is what I'd call a Sharp bench!I'm not sure it's comfortable, but I like the place where it is: a wild open aera, and most of all, a refreshing fountain, which is the thing I like to see the most during those days of heat..

Cool bench but I'd be afraid to sit on either end as it looks a bit like a seesaw. ;-)
ReplyDeleteWonderful choice!
