'Without Place'

This lofty piece of public art stands on the Queen Street end of Charles Street. It was created by Denis O'Connor and Bernie Rutter in 2011 and consists of a large stainless steel chair and a series of smaller artefacts including a film reel and a mortar and pestle. Charles Street was named after Charles Vachell, a local pharmacist and later mayor. The bustling street used to have lots of small shops, businesses, societies and creative industries in the past but in modern times the area has suffered. The recent redevelopment of the street was largely helped by Marks and Spencer, who established a store and contributed to the art. See Image] for a wider street view.
