 BJR35.jpg Water and sunshine. (taken 5.8.2005)  BQQ28.jpg Plaque:- "TO THE MEMORY OF BOB OLDCORN 1905-1980 RODMAKER AND FISHERMAN OF PENNYBRIDGE WHO SAT IN HIS WHEELCHAIR AND FISHED FROM THIS PLACE FOR OVER 50 YEARS" (taken 29.5.2009)  BJR36.jpg A carp perhaps? The fish is very stylised but most closely resembles a carp, Cyprinus carpio L.; general shape, long dorsal fin and large rounded tail. (It cannot be a member of the Salmonidae, Salmon, Trout, Charr, etc, as it lacks a small fleshy adipose fin between the dorsal fin and the caudal fin.) I suspect the artist just drew a generalised fish shape which just happens to look like a carp! - Chris Palmer, HMCMS. (taken 5.8.2005) |
