Ideally it would be lovely to see the Sculptures near the canal - WLCT's hope is they will become Wigan's equivalent of the Gormley's.
As the Pier Quarter is becoming more modernised, I think it's a gesture too little, too late.
I adore walking along the canal - I'm there almost every day - but since the Way We Were Museum was closed, it is much quieter along that stretch.
I think the new Wigan's sculptures ought to be in a safer place of keeping. Such a shame when Sowerby Bridge's Boatman sculpture adds so much to the canalway there.
There possibly isn't room in the Grand Arcade though - one of the few places they can be locked away at night.
