Description
This is the purple version called Mermaid of memories of the mermaid legend at New Brighton that is part of the mermaid trail project, this one is placed on the promenade not far from the Floral Pavilion and the famous ancient napoleonic fort is seen as a backdrop.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.
Local notes: Pupils from St George’s Primary School are responsible for the ‘Mermaid of Memories’, the fifth statue on the trail. Situated on the promenade opposite the Floral Pavilion Theatre and Conference Centre, the pupils have sought through their decoration to take people on a journey back in time to a dark yet glowing evening at New Brighton fairground.
