Well done.. Don't ya sleep ???

Heres your new one. Strictly speaking, there is no bike access to this tag . It takes pride of place in a lawn courtyard and can be seen easily from the road.

FJ did you know it or just a troll through the www?

Well done Guzza ...that was quick.
Here is some facts for what its worth:
The foundation of the present structure was laid in 1874. The architect, Benjamin Woolfield Mountfort, was an active member of the parish and had been responsible for additions and alterations to the original building, as well as designing the brick parsonage built in 1864.

By 1876 a new chancel, organ chamber and transepts had replaced the original ones. These used basalt from Halswell Quarry, with limestone for the dressings, red and black glazed tiles and slate for the roof.

Plus I got married there....

I knew where it was.

I Ran/walked through that area many times... I admired the stonework.

Methinks its the same sculptor ...

I think the blue ball is by an artist called Rebecca Rose.... but that doesnt help with the location of this one! It may well be a piece called "The red Orb" but the last thing I can find on that is it was sold.

Of course could be barking up the wrong tree completely!

[Transalper]

Righto, just hunted out some pics of "the red orb" and unfortunately it's not that one, it look quite different in the detailing. The red orb is all triangles. So back to the drawing board so to speak.

[fireliv]

Yeah thats what I thought too, but I still tend to believe that its a piece from Rebecca Rose

Sorry I cant help with artist details, there was no information nearby that I could see. I'll put a clue up after tea...once I think of one...

The best way to find this tag might be to identify the building beside it.

This building was completed in 1857 and stood at the Oxford Terrace end of Tuam Street until 1986 when it was cut into sections and transported to its present site. Its original use has not changed to this day
