Lunar Society Moonstones, Stone sculpture memorial at Asda supermarket grounds in Queslett, Great Barr, Birmingham, England
The Lunar Society Moonstones consists of nine carved sandstone blocks arranged in a circular pattern, each depicting a different member of the historical society.
The sculptures, created by Steve Field and completed in 1998, commemorate the members of the Lunar Society who met during full moons between 1765 and 1813.
Each stone features detailed carvings of scientific instruments, portraits, and symbols representing the intellectual contributions of Birmingham's leading industrial revolutionaries.
Visitors can observe the memorial stones from Aldridge Road or Queslett Road, with the sculptures facing outward from the supermarket premises.
The stones incorporate different moon phases in their design, with James Watt's memorial specifically featuring the full moon carving on its surface.
