Striking bit of street art seen recently by the Pocket2.

Very interesting find Mr. B.  Somebody had their creative juices flowing when they created that street art.  

After second look I see she is holding a baby.  Missed that on the first look.  I'm betting it took quite some time to make that couple and the wee one.

It's the first one I've seen in that town.

A touching family group.

In England judging by the post box... Nice art.

Very nice sculptures, but I have no idea where they are.

It is in England, Depp.  I'll tell where when the others have had a guess, particularly  @DAFlys , who suggested resuming the guessing games.

That's only the second one I've seen and I've been to 64 different countries.

Very cool.

Thanks Peter. I spotted it quite by chance.

I did some googling on it but no luck yet.

Google images failed to identify it but did come up with some similar ones, but not exact of course.

I've managed to identify the sculptor now.

Looking at the article I think Wayne might be he guy that made the bench.

You're very close.  That looks like the corner opposite the bridge we crossed from where the boat was moored.  The snippet  I took is from a plaque on the embankment wall, a little further up the rive gauche.

Yep, we walked along there to the north. There are plaques at intervals along the low wall.

There were several along there and then they changed to Evan someone.
