Whilst we were in St Annes last week we came across these metal carvings set into the pavement along Garden Street in the centre of town.
There is at least another one featuring Trees but a shopkeeper had placed a sandwich-board half over that one so I didn't get a photo.
I thought they may have been some kind of millennium artwork but when I asked in the local library they didn't seem to know much about them. The person I asked did say she thought they may be a recent school's project.
If they were on a wall I'd call them "murals" but they are set into the pavement (that's the sidewalk for our American friends). Someone suggested they are perhaps "floorals" (note in Northern English speak "floor" rhymes with "moor" note "more")
A contribution to Monday Murals.
Very interesting find- I like the idea of a "flooral"- there is a small one by the Lowry centre and I'll look out for more ;-)
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful artwork, too bad the artists don't get the proper recognition!
ReplyDeleteWhat great art! I like your name for them...maybe there will be others people can find...nice capture!
ReplyDeletewhat a great idea. it is too bad that no-one seemed to know anything about them.
ReplyDeleteI would be that the local business ass'n paid for it. They are quite nice - particularly the wee birds!
ReplyDeleteP.S. Is this the St Annes of Lytham-St Annes?
