This mossaic-coated toad sits on the grass outside the Streetlife museum in Hull, where I had a wander around while waiting for the photo exhibitions to open. I smiled as I imagined just how many people must have clambered onto the giant amphibian before the powers-that-be decided to invest in a sign and (somewhat ineffectual) fence in an attempt to ward them off.
