    Tips

    December 22, 2022

    Installed in 2003, the Scallop is a beautiful piece of art that reflects the coastal light wonderfully. It was sculpted by local artist Maggi Hambling in memory of the composer Benjamin Britten. He took daily walks along the sea during the many years he lived in Aldeburgh. The Scallop has faced a fair amount of local opposition due to its prominent position on the otherwise undisturbed bay.
