Train sculpture by Friar's Street in Bridgnorth, Shropshire
The vibrant colours here brighten up a very gloomy autumn morning!
This public art is presented in the pleasant small park area by Friar's Street near the junction with Cartway, overlooking the River Severn. This was the site of the former friary, see http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2270865 .
There twelve of these train sculptures placed around the town, each decorated by a different artist. This one is called "The Great Bear", painted by Deborah Meredith. The sculptures are cast in aluminium and celebrate the famous Catch Me Who Can engine from 1808.
From Wikipedia: "Catch Me Who Can was the fourth and last steam railway locomotive created by the inventor and mining engineer Richard Trevithick. It was an evolution of three earlier locomotives which had been built for Coalbrookdale, Penydarren ironworks and Wylam colliery. Demonstration runs began in July 1808, and Catch Me Who Can was the first locomotive in the world to haul fare-paying passengers."

Site of former friary in Bridgnorth, Shropshire
This is now a pleasant small park area with fine views overlooking the River Severn. The friary was "dissolved" in 1538, and following various use of the buildings, they were demolished in 1856, then a subsequent carpet factory was demolished in 1988. The area is pleasantly grassed, with trees.See http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2270865 for more information.
The sculpture is one of twelve forming a trail around the town, celebrating the 1808 Trevithick engine 'Catch Me Who Can'. https://www.shropshirestar.com/entertainment/bridgnorth-entertainment/2018/03/19/the-sculpture-now-arriving-at-bridgnorth---/
