Mountain biking

An 18ft sculpture made from hundreds of highly reflective steel panels, called The Face of Wigan, has been installed in the town's Grand Arcade. ... “It is intended to represent not a single celebrity but all of the inhabitants of the area, the very people of Wigan,”
Also in the square at the other statues really nice

Hiking

The 5.5m high sculpture was designed by Rick Kirby in 2007. It was financed by Modus Properties, the developer of Wigan's Grand Arcade shopping centre. The place may seem a bit out of place as it is far away from the usual walking paths in the city.

By Rick Kirkby a wonderful steel face with steps around the back. Always has beautiful flowers surround it. I really like it.
