Family of Penguins

The Family of Penguins by sculptor Tony Wiles were commissioned by Lanbaurgh Borough Council in 1994, and manufactured by The Great British Bollard Company. Originally stationed at the Redcar seafront, there are nine penguins in total. Seven of them appear lost and surround a signpost that directs them to local places and also the South Pole. The other two look out to sea, seemingly having found their way. The penguins have moved to different locations over the years, the most recent having been next to the sculpture Sinterlation in 2013.
