WARWICKSHIRE, UK, September 11, 2009
/24-7PressRelease/ -- Sculptor Suzie Marsh was commissioned to make a lifesize sculpture of Nelson the Seal, who was left blind in one eye following a boating accident and was looked after by the fishermen and people of Looe, for Looe Harbour in Cornwall. He is cast in bronze and on public display on Pennyland Rocks in Looe Harbour. He was unveiled on the 28th May by Sir Robin Knox-Johnson.
Suzie has now also provided a sculpture of Nelson the Cat ( so called because of his black patch over one eye ) to The Glan Yr Afon Inn, Holywell, North Wales. The Glan Yr Afon's owner, Chris Windley, knew Suzie from his days in the Royal Navy in Plymouth and asked her to provide the sculpture to commemorate Nelson who died in 2008.
Nelson adopted The Glan Yr Afon Inn during the time that Mr and Mrs Pepe Pastor owned it and remained there when Chris Windley bought it - despite not being an official part of the fixtures and fittings !!. Some of the locals still remember the day that Nelson walked into The Glan as a young cat and claimed The Glan as his home.
Suzie can now claim to have her Nelson's looking out over the English Channel and the Dee Estuary. Parkgate,Ness and Neston, across The Dee from The Glan was where Lady Hamilton, Nelson's lover was born.
Nelson the Cat can be seen on the video on The Glan website.
