Description
Another view of the mermaid bronze like sculpture combing her long hair on a Black rock in New Brighton on Victoria Road near the promenade, Part of the mermaid trail project. The inspiration behind the project is the ‘Black Rock Mermaid’, who was said to have appeared to a local sailor, John Robinson, in New Brighton in the 18th century. The trail ends on Victoria Parade in ‘Old Town’ New Brighton with the sixth statue – the eponymous Black Rock Mermaid - this one being the original caste decorated by the creator of the Mermaid statues, Barry Canning-Eaton. I was staying here and this statue was not far from my hotel
