Pompey Against Plastic Trash

Pompey Against Plastic Trash
This fish-shaped sculpture by Pete Codling,(based on Portsmouth's star and crescent motif), is known as the Treadgold Fish and has been made from scrap metal from Treadgold's, a scrap metal merchants in Portsea. It is travelling round the city collecting plastic bottles as part of the War on Plastic. I think it's amazing. As of yesterday it was situated on Southsea Common.

I was able to get this shot between the torrential rain showers we had all day!

Please view large, on black. Thank you.
