Oh we do like to be beside the seaside

Designed by Wigan based Mark Mennell, in collaboration with students from Salford City college, this is one of several artworks on the stairs up to Walkden station. It makes me think of when there were mines nearby fuelling the industrial revolution and they would have rushed to Blackpool on a rare day out. On a less reflective side, the wander this way also reminded me to pick up my train tickets for tomorrow.
