There is a small park at Castlefield where the foundations of the old Roman fort can be seen. The statue is of 3 grazing sheep.
The design was originally entered into a competition in 1986 as a statue for peace. It was not the winning design but was still commissioned. The competition was because Manchester had just declared itself a nuclear free area, the first city in the world to do so.
