All the recent snow has enhanced the sculptures around Ellesmere, especially on Castlefields. Even the Mere has been frozen over as a novel backdrop.

Just look at all the footprints leading to and from the sculpture in the photo - a clear demonstration of their popularity.

Students from Shrewsbury College visit the 2010 sculptures placed along the canal at Ellesmere after the second Ellesmere Sculpture Symposium.

The symposium of international artists was held in the British Waterways yard, once used by Thomas Telford in the construction of the Ellesmere canal running from Llangollen to the Mersey.
