[Who]

Its a navigation beacon, but I dont know where it is.

I guess the four dots are mountings for the cables that hold it up.

It must be in the water, not far from land.

[mrbloto]

sorry about that,yes you were right it was just after armistice day and the poppys were still there, and if you look there is a wet spot just under the eye which i thought was rather poignant

 

[graham]

I think the whole statue is poignant. From the one side it just looks like a piece of ship wreckage then on the other side the human face.Kind of brings home the human cost of war to me.

 

[Wunja]

Another aerial image.

Why has this prime piece of waterfront real estate not been redeveloped?

 

[Who]

Because the ground has been contaminated a long time ago.

Just off of Anchor road in Bristol

 

[damo]

Yes, it's the old gasworks, and a vast amount of contaminated earth has had to be removed in order that development can start.
