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

Thank you so much for all your generous and positive comments. Us humans are still discarding far to much plastic waste into the environment..............and it's about time Governments across the world worked out what to do with it all..!!

Great shots with terrific detail and a brilliant idea Keith although it looks like a few non plastic items have made it through,
So many items that come from supermarkets are in unnecessary plastic trays which I personally find annoying.

What a great idea! It has certainly made a lovely work of art out of what would have been a load of rubbish! I really love this piece!

Thank you very much Roger.......I'm always chuffed when you like my photos......much appreciated.

The supermarkets have a lot to answer for..............they promise the earth and come up with very little. During our weekly shop this last week we found swede shrink-wrapped in plastic as well as broccoli................why!
