The Scallop, a piece of artwork sufficiently renowned enough to be known by the definite article, is a 13 foot (4 metre) high sculpture by Suffolk artist Maggi Hambling, controversially situated on the beach just to the north of Aldeburgh. It is made of 10mm thick stainless steel and designed to withstand 100mph winds. The installation is a monument to past Aldeburgh resident Benjamin Britten. Cut into the rim of the scallop are the words “I hear those voices that will not be drowned” from Britten’s opera Peter Grimes. The post code is best guess.
