Tern fence

A soon to disappear set of fences here in Morecambe as work is shortly to start on a new Northern ‘Eden Project’ on the green land behind the fence. Hopefully the fence will still be reused and put to good use somewhere else as it is a very pretty one, tying in with the modern sea-bird theme along this big promenade. At my back, the sea beckons.

I wish you all, a great weekend, Herb

Nice to see you Lothar. From what I heard on the news last night, it seems that 25% of our UK mammals face extinction. Maybe these iron seagulls will be our only reminder of birds too, some day? Glad you liked it.

Yes, agreed but I think they will just put it somewhere else.

Obviously the passage through the fence was built later. This also called into question the effect of the fence itself. ;-)

Thanks Poly. I have the idea that the fence had another purpose, but what? The space had a small fair running inside.

Herb Riddle ^club has replied to David G Johnson ^club

Theu will probably want to do that David, but knowing how our councils and workmen do the job, it will probably end up as scrap-iron? Enjoy the weeks ahead. I understand the problem with your tablet -I have the same problem with my phone and Ipad on such escapades :)

Yep, it sure is. I think they had (have) events on the spare ground now so it would count as an alternative exit too.

I hope they do use it again Herb, it's beautiful. Just the sort of thing I like to see. It shows some effort and care in a place! HFF and I wish you a great weekend.

I also hope this fence will get a new lease of life after the refurbishment, it's much too original to disappear! I like the birds on it, to me they look like terns. HFF, Herb!

Hi Herb

Great find, and photo.

I hope the cafe in the new 'Eden Project' has a better range of 'proper' food than the one in Cornwall... !!

Best Wishes, HFF, and a good weekend

Herb Riddle ^club has replied to Peter_Private_Box ^club

Hi Peter. Can't remember trying the cafe at Cornwall but since not a sod has been turned over here yet - we can have no idea. In any case the splendid Midland Hotel next door has great foods -at a price. Glad you liked this anyway.

Keith Burton ^club

A superb looking fence Herb.............I love it. It would be a real shame if it ended up as scrap!

The fence is actually part of the "Tern Project" and there is quite a lot of easily found stuff on the net about it. Here's a start for you: www.photonorth.uk/-/image-library/arts/sculpture/morecambe-tern-project

HFF to you..............have a splendid weekend.

Herb Riddle ^club has replied to Keith Burton ^club

Hi again Keith. Yes it would be a great shame if this fence was to be scrapped but I am sure they will still use it, if not here then somewhere else.
Special thanks for the extra links to the fine site of PhotoNorth adn the galleries she has.

yes a wonderful fence. it is the sort of thing that makes one wonder why anyone would make a plane line fence when a beautiful one adds so much to an area

4 years ago.

Herb Riddle ^club has replied to Colin Ashcroft ^club

Thanks for another visit and fine comment Colin. To be honest, Morecambe needed to be revitalised a little and these fences were part of all that, some years back now. they sure looked very nice and it is to be hoped they survive in some way.
