Nexus Public Art Sculpture , (2013) by Chris Cudlip. One of my many self-imposed photographic tasks is to slowly paint a picture of Southampton as I see it which necessarily involves intermittent work and being selective. There are some absolutely fascinating sights in this historic city. My June 2013 photograph of the Old Bond Store, which is one of my favourite buildings, shows a black gate which has been replaced by the remarkable sculpture shown in this picture.The work is in brick and incorporates recycled glass bottles. It is inscribed as follows (with capitalisation as it appears): The East Gate stood along this wall north of here from 1200 1765 The metal crafts Guild defended the gate. 1977 Nexus 2003 nightclub stood here Cudlip 2013 200_P1010980
