Maygrove Peace Park

Site: Maygrove Peace Park (8 memorials)

NW6, Maygrove Road, Maygrove Peace Park

The park was built on former railway sidings and opened on 27 April 1983, to coincide with the 38th anniversary of the dropping of the atomic bomb on Nagasaki. It contains a cherry tree, which commemorates the one that continued to bloom after the nuclear bombing of Hiroshima.

The (non-memorial, as far as we can tell) sculpture sitting on the boulder is called Untitled (Listening) (1983-4), and was sculpted by Antony Gormley, so he was probably the model as well. The inscribed stones are laid into the tarmac path near the sculpture.
