The Sir Antony Gormley art installation ‘Another Place’ is located on Crosby Beach which spans the townships of Waterloo, Brighton le Sands and Blundellsands on the southern Sefton Coast. Another Place is the responsibility of Sefton Council since the artwork became a permanent feature in 2007, following purchase from the artist after the planned two years temporary exhibition. Another Place is a piece of modern sculpture by Sir Antony Gormley and consists of 100 cast iron figures, it is rumoured that they are not identical, with a number of individual casts being produced. After being exhibited at several locations across Europe and after a tweak in 2007, the sculpture or artwork was permanently installed at Crosby and what is fast becoming known as the Iron Man Coast, on what is one of the most important natural coasts in the UK and part of what is now the Liverpool City Region. The artwork consists of cast iron figures which face out to sea, spread over a 2-mile (3.2 km) stretch of the beach between Waterloo and Blundellsands. Each figure is 189 cm tall (nearly 6 feet 2½ inches) and weighs around 650 kg (over 1400 lb). In common with most of Gormley's work, the figures are cast replicas of his own body. As the tides ebb and flow, the figures are, respectively, revealed and submerged by the sea. The figures were cast at two foundries: Hargreaves Foundry in Halifax, West Yorkshire and the Joseph and Jesse Siddons Foundry in West Bromwich by foundryman Derek Alexander.[4] Another Place was first exhibited on the beach of Cuxhaven, Germany, in 1997 followed by Stavanger in Norway and De Panne in Belgium.
