Pouting Trout from Porthcawl

Posted on October 1st, 2008 filed in Photos, S & M

Gadzooks! This hideous looking beast stares at shoppers in John Street, Porthcawl.

It forms the lower part of a tiered sculpture along with an ice cream cone, a navigational aid, sitting on a bronze bollard, with a seagull capping the ensemble. All these are ‘iconic’ imagery assocated with Porthcawl.

Designed and sculpted by Jon Buck and installed in the mid 1990s, it was one of the two public sculptures installed in Porthcawl’s main shopping district as part of a pedestrianisation/regeneration programme.
