Scaffolding A Polar Dance

We weren't quite sure where to head to today but I'd seen an online article about the Kent village of Pembury, near Tunbridge Wells, so we decided to give it a try.
I must admit we were slightly underwhelmed when we arrived as it felt more like a cross between a village and a town - a tillage or a vown perhaps? The aforementioned online article recommended The Black Horse pub in the village as an imbibement facilitator and so we made the decision to seek out its custom.
Sadly I can't say we were particularly enamoured of it either as the greeting was lukewarm verging on perfunctory and when we said we were only having a drink and not eating we were directed towards a tiny table next to a side door adjacent to a radiator that had not been turned on, which considering it was a cold day wasn't ideal as we felt we still needed to keep our coats on. Rather oddly our beers also smelt and tasted of cider. Strangely whilst the inside was old fashioned (which in itself is no way at all a bad thing) the outside terrace looked much more appealing but was resolutely closed off on our visit, presumably as it was still February.
Somewhat deflated we finished our pints and determined that we should continue our journey onwards to Tunbridge Wells. On our last visit we'd had to head home without stopping as we were unable to find anywhere to park and had then got stuck in traffic. Happily on this occasion we found a parking spot relatively easily and then took a stroll down to The Pantiles (my extra shows a view back along this Georgian colonnade of shops, bars and restaurants which is a maybe a bit generic but my attention we caught by the very stylish lady you can see in the foreground).
As we continued our walk long the Pantiles we came across this wonderful sculpture by the sculptor Tessa Campbell-Fraser called 'Polar Dance'. It's made of bronze and weighs in at over 300 kilos and was originally displayed outside the Natural History Museum before being transferred to its present site in 2017. It was created to symbolise the relationship between nature and mankind, with the sculptor wanting to highlight the important battle we face between global warming and how we must embrace and protect nature.
The sculptor has explained "If we don't get the balance right they (polar bears) could become extinct and I think because I had Lila (her daughter) I was more aware of global warming - having a child makes you think about the planet and how we're going to leave it. The polar bear was the obvious symbol and I wanted to express its relationship with man, and how it is (or at least should be) harmonious". 
I couldn't capture a straight on image of the sculpture that I was happy with so I went with the alternative viewpoint that you can see in my main image with the scaffolding in the background - and I must admit I was also attracted by the presence of the bright orange ladder!
