Tom Grimsey - Northam Shoal

This is the first in a series that we are running on the blog that celebrates art for the community in public places, commissioned by the City Council. Any of you who have been near Saint Mary's Football stadium will have no doubt seen this eye catching sculpture by Southampton artist Tom Grimsey, erected in 2002.

Northam Shoal is a major light sculpture commissioned by Southampton City Council, in association with Southampton Regeneration Partnership. It acts as a landmark for Old Northam Road; an area associated with antiques, speciality collectibles, pubs, cafes and St. Mary’s Stadium.
