Mary's Shell
Mary's Shell
Mary's Shell is part of a public artwork trial on Cleveleys Promenade near Blackpool. The shell which is 10 metres long and 4 metres high is situated on Cleveleys Beach, at low tide it is totally exposed and depending on the tide height is partially or totally covered at high tide. The shell together with other large artworks were inspired by a book called The Sea Swallow written for children that tells a story set on a mythological local coast, but is it a myth? Local history tells of a long lost village situated off the coast that was lost to the sea in the 16th century when sea levels rose due to coastal erosion.
