"LYDIA eva"

This is the Lydia Eva arriving under her own power.  She is the world’s last surviving steam-powered herring drifter and steamed back to Great Yarmouth on Saturday 15th May 2010.

Refer Lydia Eva for more details

Steam drifters once filled the harbours as they worked down from Scotland following the Herring.  Lydia Eva was, unusually, also capable of trawling outside the herring season.

She is now open for visitors each summer.  For more information,  see here


Mother & Child in Limbo, public art in Great Yarmouth

Mother & Child in the cemetary toned

Mother and Child, carving in York stone, by Bridget Heriz, commissioned for the Cobholm and Lichfield  Resource Centre by the Bridge Trust, 2006, funded by SRB5.  The sculpture has been moved whilst building works are taking place to extend the Resource Centre and I hope this photographic compilation (background from the avenue in the graveyard) does not relate to the fate of the sculpture!

April 2010:  The carving has been relocated in the new foyer of the Cobholm and Lichfield Resource Centre.  It looks fine in its new setting apart from the notices mounted on the wall unnecessarily close the sculpture.
