Together we must learn to live as brothers or together we will be forced to perish as fools.
Martin Luther King 1967.

Site: Maygrove Peace Park (8 memorials)
NW6, Maygrove Road, Maygrove Peace Park
The park was built on former railway sidings and opened on 27 April 1983, nearly 38 years after the dropping of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It contains a cherry tree, which commemorates the one that continued to bloom after the nuclear bombing of Hiroshima.
The (non-memorial, as far as we can tell) sculpture sitting on the boulder is called Untitled (Listening) (1983-4), and was sculpted by Antony Gormley, so he was probably the model as well. The inscribed stones are laid into the tarmac path near the sculpture.
