The Kyneburgh Wall on Kimbrose Square is the work of Tom Price. He describes this art work as: 'the wall lies along the line of the city’s Roman wall, which continues the theme of fluidity, in this case through time, and the changing nature of the site over the centuries' and also 'the fluid form of the wall serves as a reminder that the ancient line upon which it sits has not changed, and yet everything above ground is temporal and changing.'
