About this audio guide
This guide to Another Place on Crosby beach, north of Liverpool, follows the hundred cast-iron figures Antony Gormley sent here on loan in two thousand five, and the people who already used this shore for play. Windsurfers, the coastguard, art lovers and local businesses all turn up, along with Sefton Council and a vote nobody could predict. Best heard from the promenade at low tide, with the figures lined up in front of you.
