Filey is not complete until you stop by the Filey promenade to see the 12-high steel sculpture of a fisherman that stands on Filey's Coble Landing.
The sculpture entitled 'A High Tide In Short Wellies' is another creation of Ray Lonsdale.
There is a poem at the base of the statue that reads:
That's it for me. I'll see you later,
Gonna wrap this catch in protective paper,
Gonna face the sea with a thousand-mile stare,
And with that, I was floating there.
In its summertime.
Down on the pier, I saw a man with a board,
It read, 'the end is near accept your Lord.'
Then underneath this, a fisherman wrote,
'I can see the end from the back of my boat'.
This is wintertime.
