L'Arc - one of two figures holding a curved pole that was inspired by Basingstoke's industrial past and close links with its European twin towns, UK

---

This piece (by David A. Annand, 1999) consists of two figures, one on either side of the road, each holding a curved pole. They evoke the town's industrial past. If these were extended a circle would be formed, thereby creating a gateway. The artist was inspired by Basingstoke’s close relationship with its European twin towns.
