Description

These two art pieces at the base of Stepney Bank contribute to the attractive newly regenerated landscape of the Ouseburn. Situated at the entrance to the village green and the car park, the two ‘columns’ of stacked bowls on square stone bases stand about ten foot tall. They are good scale and fit the surrounding streetscape. LOCAL LIST
