Another Place, is a piece of modern sculpture by Sir Antony Gormley
located at Crosby Beach in Merseyside, England.
It consists of 100 cast iron figures facing towards the sea.
The figures are modelled on the artist's own naked body.
The work proved controversial due to the naked statues but has increased tourism to the beach. After being exhibited at two other locations, it was put on display at Crosby on the 1st July 2005
The work consists of cast iron figures which face out to sea, spread over a 2-mile (3.2 km) stretch of beach between Waterloo and Blundellsands. Each figure is 189 centimetres (6 ft 2 in) tall and weighs around 650 kilograms (1,430 lb). The figures are cast replicas of Gormley's own body!
Car parking is £1 for two hours and so on.
There's lots of spaces although as you'd imagine, it gets very busy at peak times.
Don't do what I did and visited too close to high tide.
The best time to visit, and to see more of the "men" is at LOW tide
