Mary's Shell was installed on Cleveleys' beach opposite Jubilee Gardens on the 23rd September 2013. The concept models were beautifully developed and crafted by Chris Brammall and his team. A remarkable achievement, culminating in the 9 metres long, 4 metres high stainless steel structure.
The project was particularly complex as the finished sculpture is placed 30 metres out into the sea meaning at times it is covered by the tide. This proved quite a challenge when fitting. The complex Conch shell is made from stainless steel with a blast finish and weighs a staggering 17 tonnes.
