Which end do I sit on?

No 2 son and I had a spur of the moment visit to grandson who lives in Shropshire.  He has had his cellar damp proofed so that he can use it as a sewing room for his business of making re-enactment clothing.  We stayed overnight and then popped into Hawley to get something to eat and this seat/sculpture was in the shopping area.
Didn't travel until after bridge and playing football (guess which one was me) so managed to hit the M6 coned down to one lane for roadworks during the night.  Murder!
Journey home much more speedy
