Aberaeron lost girl harbour sculpture withdrawn amid sunset worry

Plans for a harbourside sculpture commemorating the emigration of 36 Welsh people to the USA more than 200 years ago have been withdrawn after criticism.

Cymdeithas Cymru – Ohio 2018, the Aberaeron-Ohio Association, initially sought permission to put the artwork, Lost Girl / Y Ferch Goll, at Aberaeron in Ceredigion.

Most of the group who left Cilcennin for Ohio in 1818 made it safely apart from one, a young girl called Mary, and the sculpture, made of strips of steel, would have been based on her.

But the application submitted to Ceredigion planners has now been withdrawn amid concern that it would “obscure the iconic harbour view out to sea and, in particular, our beautiful sunsets”.
