It was outside what was the Migration Museum, which is why it's there. But the museum has gone, ahead of moving to its new location. It has been there a long time though!

And while we're on the Fingleton Review, here's Wildlife Trusts' campaign on this, which launches today: action.wildlifetrusts.org/page/183790/...

Take up for teenagers is all about the network effects of smart phones. When everyone else is on whichever app is flavour of the month, pretty hard to resist them.
