Visit Notes

Sunday, 12th February 2006

You never know what to expect when you visit an urban monument. Will you get strange looks and not get out of the car? Will the stone be covered in spray paint? Here I found none of this.

The locals either don't think anything about having this good looking stone in their green and so ignore it or they really care about it and look after it.

The stone is about 1.6m tall and 50cm broad.
