September 18, 2025, A Fishy Tail by Colin Telfer

On the banks of the River Ellen, near Maryport Harbor, stands the striking sculpture "A Fishy Tale." This creation by artist Colin Telfer depicts two fishermen, a curious boy, and a dog peering together at a basket full of fish. Made of red sandstone, epoxy resin, and hematite dust, the artwork exudes not only craftsmanship but also warmth and local pride. With expressive poses and a touch of humor, this sculpture provides a tangible reminder of Maryport's fishing past.

Maryport was founded in 1749 when Humphrey Senhouse started to develop the existing village of Ellenfoot into a bustling port, following the example set by Whitehaven. He named it after his wife, Mary. It grew to be an industrial centre during the 19th century but suffered a decline in the mid 20th century. Today, it is a popular tourist spot, boasting an aquarium, yacht marina and museums.
