Because this is a 'big' art project it will doubtlessly go to a 'big' location.

I am all for the raising of cultural awareness but size-wise Accrington is perhaps out-of-the-way. There are lots of locations here that could take a medium-size sculpture. Oakhill, Hayworth, Broadway. . . . .

A large sculpture needs to overlook a busy road and be easily seen without causing accidents through rubber-necking. So a Gormley-Angel sized item could be seen from the M65 (Dunkenhalgh Park?) or the A56 (Peel Park?), say.
