Eleanor Rigby Statue — by Tommy Steele
It's on Stanley Street in Liverpool, England.
It was donated to Liverpool by the sculptor in 1982 as a tribute to the Beatles.
I happened to hear the instrumental version of the song yesterday on XM radio and it was strikingly haunting — perhaps even more so than the Beatles' recorded version.

Self-promotion ploy #1: if you're a hack, ride the coattails of truly talented people. This sculpture sucks, which would be obvious if it were titled merely "Woman on a Bench." But we're somehow supposed to overlook the suckiness since it's a tribute to the Beatles. Aw, Look, everyone, it's Eleanor Rigby! Isn't that special.
