Public art in Letterkenny : ウィキペディア英語版 | Public art in Letterkenny
Letterkenny like many towns in Ireland has tried to improve its aesthetic appeal and commemorate its history and achievements by commissioning public art and monuments. Described below are examples of some of these. ==Polestar== The Polestar is a monument located on the Port Bridge Roundabout on the Derry Road. Its creator is a Derry man, Locky Morris. The project cost approximately €100,000. The site of the Polestar, on the Port Bridge Roundabout, has had an historic past where trade and goods were landed by boat and transported to the surrounding areas by rail and road. The monument is made of 104 timber poles and rises to a height of 12 metres. Its shape alludes to the outline of a boat, as well as having a locomotive (train track) theme, to commemorate the fact that both forms of transportation played a major part in the town's development in the past.
