Geograph - photograph every grid square

Seats like this are not that uncommon a sight in parks and touristy areas. My theory is that all local authorities, volunteer groups, and branches of conservation organisations harbour at least one frustrated artist amongst their ranks. And that, for whatever reason, they are often indulged by those overseeing a project and encouraged to showcase their hitherto unseen and often debatable talents by designing interesting but usually highly impractical pathside seating.
Ignoring the fact that, due to people often walking in pairs or small groups, benches have historically been the normal choice, there are a few drawbacks to this example:
1) It is too high - anyone below about five and a bit foot high will have to pull themselves up to it (or jump), and once on it will have their feet dangling off the ground.
2) The seat of the seat is far too small to get comfortable on.
3) The back of the seat is vertical. And as the seat part is so small there is no possibility of leaning at an angle into the back, adding to the discomfort.
It looks like whatever - if anything at all - the seats were coated with has long gone, and they will soon start to rot. Whilst they do provide a point of interest on the route up to Lee Pen hill, let's hope that the next inevitable artist-in-residence is more familiar with the concept of ergonomics!
