Marram Grass sculpture, Pen Lon, Newborough

 

The small car park at Pen Lon features this sculpture created by Caernarfon-based Ann Catrin Evans representing stooks or sheaves of marram grass (Ammophila arenaria). Marram grass is particularly important in Newborough’s history: it was a major source of income from mat, basket and rope making; and it protected the village from being buried by the vast dunes

The midnight penguin designed by Rosalind Hargreaves is one of the remaining penguins from the 2009 public art extravaganza Liverpool with the appearance of 135 individually designed giant penguins around the city centre.Sudley House is a historic house in Aigburth, Liverpool, England. Built in 1824 and much modified in the 1880s, it is now a museum and art gallery which contains the collection of George Holt, a shipping-line owner and former resident, in its original setting. It includes work by Thomas Gainsborough, Joshua Reynolds, Edwin Landseer, John Everett Millais and J. M. W. Turner
