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 were nine penguins in total. Seven of the penguins seem lost and surround a signpost that directs them to local places and also the South Pole. The other two look out to sea. The penguins have moved to different locations over the years, the most recent having been next to the sculpture Sinterlation in 2013.
