This large, abstract bronze by Henry Moore was cast between 1964 and 1967. It is situated in Millbank – next to the Thames and opposite Tate Britain. Called ‘Locking Piece’, it is set on a concrete plinth and represents Moore’s interest in interlocking forms. This work was based on bone fragments found by Moore in a gravel pit near his home. This was the third cast of the piece and has been displayed here since 1968. Originally set on a hexagonal base (see above), it blown off its base by a very strong wind in 1990 and badly damaged. It was replaced on a new (taller) cylindrical concrete plinth in 2004.

I took this photograph in October 2021. The MI6 building in Vauxhall (not there in 1972) now dominates the south side of the Thames.
