Sarah Jane Richards and myself were commissioned by  Sefton Coast Landscape Partnership (SCLP)and funded by the Heritage Lottery, to produce a sculpture trail along 22 miles of the Sefton Coastline.

The six sculptures along the Sefton Coastal Path, were designed by us; the individual artworks contained within the sculptures were developed through a programme of art workshops with local hard-to-reach communities, creating a sense of ownership and pride.

Each offers a unique creative response to a different aspect of the coastal heritage, history or landscape, giving a creative and informative view of the coast.

Huge thanks go to all these groups:– Natural Alternatives, Go With The Flow and Free Flow art groups, Creative Alternatives, Bridge Inn Community Farm, Cambridge Road Children Centre and Brunswick Youth Club.

Thanks to: Phill Gregson, wheelwright and woodsman.   Verity Pulford Glass artist, Chris Turrell-Watts Ceramicist and photo credits to Ted Oonk; Sarah Jane Richards; Sian Hughes.

Thanks also to Natural England, The National Trust, RSPB and Sefton Coast Landscape Partnership, Fiona Sunner and John Dempsey from SCLP for their support and enthusiasm in enabling this project.
