This North Norfolk location has been chosen by the artist for its many unique qualities.
The beauty of this stretch of coastline is only matched by its long history of human habitation and its battle with change and the forces of nature.
Artists and writers have always been drawn to this coastline to express these themes.
The in 1930's Henry Moore, Ben Nicolson and Barbara Hepworth holidayed in Happisburgh and the hagstones on the beach inspired their sculpture with holes at the center.
The bell sculpture will be another artistic landmark.
The oldest human footprints ever found outside of Africa were discovered here on Happisburgh beach.
900,000 years ago the North sea was a land mass connecting Britain to main land Europe. We know this area as Doggerland and know that it was populated by groups of early humans.
We also know that Happisburgh at this time was the mouth of the Thames before Doggerland was flooded by a tsunami caused by a massive underwater landslide near Norway.
Today coastal erosion threatens the village and the nature of the fresh water environment for about 20 miles in towards Norwich.
