Aldeburgh

We drove to Aldeburgh in Suffolk today and met our friends John and Jennie with whom we are spending a few days here.  The weather is good and after a pub lunch we took a walk by the long stoney beach. Later we saw The Scallop a beach sculpture....

Unveiled in 2003 as a striking tribute to Benjamin Britten – one of the twentieth-century’s most important composers who spent much of his life in Aldeburgh and nearby Snape; the Scallop was conceived by Suffolk-born artist Maggi Hambling, and made by Aldeburgh craftsmen Sam and Dennis Pegg.

I've included the people to give a little interest and add a perspective to the size.
