More artwork unveiled at Mumbles sea defence project
The concrete-mould design is based on work by Swansea-based artist Catrin Jones, with images including pebbles, oyster boats and a lifeboat.
The panel complements one at Oyster Wharf that depicts oysters, oystercatcher birds, fish, mermaid’s purses, starfish & pebbles.

Writing on social media, Lesley Phillips said: “Looks great. Mumbles needed a face lift and it’s a huge improvement.”
While Val Whittington said: “Looks lovely and very appropriate!”
The Mumbles coastal protection scheme being delivered on behalf of the council by main contractor Knights Brown, is due to be largely complete in the second quarter of this year. It’s funded mainly by the Welsh Government.

Norfolk, 2013
Coastal erosion at Hemsby is in the news again - this is from 2013 after one of those once-in-a-hundred-year storms that come round every five years or so these days.
