When I first saw this a few years ago it was suggested to me that it was not an art installation and that it was in fact part of an expensive ventilation system. As I liked these dark blocks I began to believe that it was a modern sculpture and then one day I saw a notice nearby indicating that it was “8 Limestones” by Ulrich Rückriem.
Not to be confused with The Peace Garden the small park situated opposite Christ Church Cathedral and was the location of a late medieval Tholsel building which served variously as a meeting place for the City Council, a courthouse and as an exchange for the city's merchants.
