I work in Harlow, near the western border of Essex. Harlow has a remarkable collection of sculptures, most of which are out in the wild. The story goes that when the New Town was being built, the architect (Frederick Gibberd) wanted to give the public access to works of art that would normally be seen only in a museum.
There are pieces from the likes of Rodin and Henry Moore, and from lesser know artists. It's a fascinating collection, and I'm looking forward to tracking them all down...
