The Landing


The Landing in Hastings is the work of a local sculptor Leigh Dyer. He worked alongside several blacksmiths who made the figurehead. It represents the prow of a Norman boat and incorporates a timecapsule containing letters from local people to be opened in 2066 marking the 1000th anniversary of the Norman landings.

Enjoy your weekends one and all!

      I thought it was very elegant and rather understated too. It is buried in a huge hole they dug on the beach. Arilx

    It is rather bird like. It wasn't until I got back home that I discovered what it was meant to be. Arilx
