Residents of Knowsley have been perplexed by large sculptures popping up across the borough.
Taking to Facebook, members of Prescot Chat queried what the artworks were for as they were spotted outside Tesco Prescot and at Whiston Hopsital. One user said: "How come there is a massive cat plonked outside Tesco?"
The art pieces are a key feature of Knowsley’s year as the Liverpool City Region Borough of Culture and will celebrate the area's links to poet Edward Lear, who wrote his world-famous poem – The Owl & the Pussy-Cat – during his time living at Knowsley Hall.
