Guess where I am then add yours.

It is the 1960's I am looking at  a roundabout, behind me is the local nightspot, to my right is the odeon cinema, across the roundabout is the "skyscraper", as it was likened to when built. Where am I and what is the name of the nightspot?

More accurately the nutters were at Britannia a locality at the top of the hill on the Rochdale road.

Correct Stanley. The title is The Brittania Coco-nut Dancers. The group goes back to at least 1857, probably much earlier. Every Easter Saturday they dance boundary to boundary bin Bacup between Rochdale and Bacup. AND just to prove I was really there...see photos later

OK then. Extract from Wikepedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Another_Place

 

'Another Place is a piece of modern sculpture by Antony Gormley.

Now permanently erected on Crosby Beach, Liverpool, England, it was due to be moved to New York, United States in November 2006, but there was a controversial proposal to retain the work at Crosby. It was recently stated in the local paper, the Crosby Herald, that they may stay for up to a decade, but at a meeting on March 7th 2007, Sefton Council accepted proposals that would allow the sculptures to be kept permanently at Crosby Beach. [1] [2]
The sculpture consists of 100 cast iron figures which face out to sea, spread over a 2 mile (3.2 km) stretch of the beach. Each figure is 189 cm tall (nearly 6 feet 2½ inches) and weighs around 650 kg (over 1400 lb).

In common with most of Gormley's work, the figures are cast replicas of the artist's own body. As the tides ebb and flow, the figures are revealed and submerged by the sea. '
