One hour east of Manchester is Antony Gormley’s Another Place installation, at Crosby beach. One hundred cast iron figures, each 6 foot 2, stare out to see and are placed along the beach. It is quite strange, intriguing and weird all at the same time. On this day we were there during a spring ‘mini’ heat wave at 27 degrees so the beach was busy. I would like to go back when the beach is empty, and the sun setting. I imagine it would feel very different.
