This sculpture sits beautifully on the otherwise untouched stretch of beach in Aldeburgh, Suffolk, and is a monument to Benjamin Britten, the great British composer. Apart from looking spectacular, the main reason I like it is due the aggressive hatred that this sculpture instilled in locals. It was vandalised, there were handfulls of petitions against it etc etc etc - controversial!! Now it is an accepted part of the scenery, but no doubt there are still bitter people with a foul word to utter about it.
