Between the Lines, Fisher Square

A sculpture by Peter Randall-Page.

Fisher Square lies between the Lion Yard Shopping Centre and the Guildhall. Visit this square and you will see a giant rock, carved to look rather like a brain. This is in fact a Finnish glacial granite boulder, which has been sculpted by the artist Peter Randall-Page.

Titled Between the Lines, and installed in 2007, it was commissioned by Grosvenor Group, and is one of three Randall-Page sculptures in the city. The other two are Theme and Variation, I, II, III which is part of the sculpture promenade at the Fitzwilliam Museum, and Confluence, a granite and water installation commissioned for the Ninewells Housing complex, to the south of the city.

There are many other works of art by Randall-Page around the country. To find out more, visit his website, https://www.peterrandall-page.com

Dear Visitor,

Thank you for exploring historical Cambridgeshire! We hope you enjoy your visit and, if you do,  would consider making a donation today.

Capturing Cambridge makes accessible thousands of photos and memories of Cambridge and its surrounding villages and towns. It is run by the Museum of Cambridge which, though 90 years old, is one of the most poorly publicly funded local history museums in the UK. It receives no core funding from local or central government nor from the University of Cambridge.

As a result, we are facing a crisis; we have no financial cushion – unlike many other museums in Cambridge – and are facing the need to drastically cut back our operations which could affect our ability to continue to run and develop this groundbreaking local history website.

If Capturing Cambridge matters to you, then the survival of the Museum of the Cambridge should matter as well. If you won’t support the preservation of your heritage, no-one else will! Your support is critical.

If you love Capturing Cambridge, and you are able to, we’d appreciate your support.

Every donation makes a world of difference.

Thank you,
Roger Lilley, Chair of Trustees
Museum of Cambridge
