The Gansey Lady

30th October
Today the Sculpture of the Gansey Lady was unveiled on Bridlington North Pier.  The Gansey Lady really is a masterpiece and I feel so proud to be part of this piece of history.  The fishes on the side depict all the famous and infamous fishing people of the area!  The gentlemen with the jumpers are part of the fishing community wearing their"ganseys"!
It is a fitting tribute to (a) the amazing creator, Steve Cargill. (b)The vision of the groups and people that wanted this and (c) last but not least, the support of the local people.
