THE SPIRIT OF PORTLAND

 

The Spirit of Portland

by artist and sculptor

Joanna Szuwalska

 

This wonderful statue is one of my faves called the Spirit of Portland, it stands proud overlooking Underhill on the roadside just below Priory Corner. It has two sides, one a stone mason and the other a fisherman it was built in remembrance of the many lives lost in both of those industries. On a clear day I can look along the coast from where this statue stands and almost (but not quite see my own part of the coast near Exeter.)..... a stunning view to rival any other along the south coast of England.
