I recently read an article about the UK's most disliked public statues and monuments.
Some were predictable, such as the comical black lady on the Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square, others were more surprising. Many of the amateur incongruous-looking 'modern' sculptures were rightly given the thumbs down. But others were more puzzling.
Amongst the most disliked was Darlington's giant 'Brick Train' by Scottish Artist David Mach.
Personally I like it. It represents a Mallard class locomotive with smoke billowing from its chimney. Built entirely of bricks, it is an imposing structure.
Why would anyone not like it, what's not to like?
