The Treadgold Fish (+ 3 PiPs)

The Treadgold Fish (+ 3 PiPs)
This fish-shaped sculpture (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 local scrap metal merchant. It has been travelling round the city collecting plastic bottles as part of the War on Plastic for a few years now. It is currently located on the promenade near Southsea Pier.

The PiPs show close up images of the plastic waste.

Please view large, on black. Thank you.

I took a photo of this when it was still fairly new (and in better weather) back in 2019 which you can see here: www.ipernity.com/doc/keithburton/49238884

I photographed it on the common in 2017, but hadn't spotted it again until this day. No idea where it's been in between.

Glad you like my shot though. Thanks Ed.

There are filling holes each side and at each end........and if your aim is good enough you could throw bottle into it's "mouth". I think it's the bottles being pushed in at the lower levels that force the contents to rise to the top!

It's a brilliant and eye-catching way to collect plastic waste........and get the message across as well.

Glad you like the photo Jean Paul.
