The Sisters
Installed in November 2020, 'The Sisters', sculpture, commissioned by Woodbridge Boat Yard and made by Andrew Baldwin, celebrates Mollie and Ethel Everson, who along with their brothers, Cyril and Bert, managed the yard they inherited from their father until 1969.
Cyril and Bert handled the river work, so 'living' memorials to them can be seen in the many Everson boats that still sail the local waters. The sisters managed the chandlery, sail store and office, now the site of the Woodbridge rowing club.
The sculpture celebrates their contribution. These two tough, resilient women now watch over the River Deben once again and their story is remembered.
