The statue of Neptune in the City Centre Gardens. Before the commencement of the Millennium Garden scheme in 1999, this statue was at the "Quayhead" of St. Augustine’s Reach by the Watershed, and facing in the opposite direction. The statue was re-sited from Temple Street in the 1940’s during the refurbishment of the gardens and the Quayhead. The statue itself is constructed of a solid wood figure covered with sheet lead, and was refurbished in the early 1990’s. There is much information on the history of this statue contained on the metal plate seen affixed to the base. Behind the statue is the "Sail Sculpture", commemorating Bristol’s maritime past, and was moved from Anchor Road once the new garden scheme had been completed. Behind yet again is the Colston Tower, Bristol’s last high-rise building, erected in the early 1970’s, and since "beautified", with the addition of a large public clock, which in this view is obscured by the left side of the Sail Sculpture.
