General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

The pit brow lass sculpture will be placed near the Wigan Pier Tippler, on the Leeds-Liverpool Canal towpath.

I walked by there yesterday to see the sign near the Tippler:

This is the site of Wigan Pier

has been newly 'decorated' with silver spray paint graffiti.

I think it would be a disaster to install the sculpture on the canal path there and not just for its own safety. The path is narrow and cobbled (slippy when wet) and people walking/cycling along have to take care as it is.

A life-sized sculpture near the Tippler - if that's where it is intended to go - would be an added hazard and hinderance.
