These are the little sculptures that have been charming people around Welshpool during the coronavirus lockdown.

Last week, the County Times reported on the presence of one little model, which had been placed beside the Montgomery Canal by a mystery artist, capturing the imaginations of local people.

The work must have taken some dedication – the models are on a section of canal that is not accessible by a footpath, but pedestrians on the other side have been enjoying the view.

And since the first sculpture appeared, several more have joined it, making a little scene for people passing under the bridge close to the town's Aldi supermarket to enjoy.

Now local photographer Phil Blagg has captured the sculptures up close.

Posting on a community Facebook page, Amelia-Jayne Wilson said: "Those little people under the bridge are breeding. Kids really enjoyed spotting them. Thanks to whoever is doing it."
