Right on your doorstep Another Place consists of 100 cast-iron, life-size figures spread out along three kilometres of the foreshore, stretching almost one kilometre out to sea. The Another Place figures - each one weighing 650 kilos - are made from casts of the artist's own body standing on the beach, all of them looking out to sea, staring at the horizon in silent expectation. https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Attraction_Review-g3612508-d1549301-Reviews-Antony_Gormley_s_Another_Place-Crosby_Merseyside_England.html

No visit to Liverpool is complete without a trip to The Baltic Triangle. London has Shoreditch, New York has Brooklyn, Manchester has the Northern Quarter and we have The Baltic Triangle. First, let’s set the scene. Think street art - of the winged, Beatles and football kind - suntrap bars, gin gardens, golf courses inside a warehouse, independent food and vintage markets, coffee shops, breweries, incredible music venues, arcades, skateparks and the craziest night of bingo you will ever have in your life; eyes down everyone!
