The ‘Welcome Home’ statue. a life-size mother with children and their faithful pet dog, waiting to welcome home their men folk from the sea. Generations of families have done this over the years, relieved to see them back after three weeks of deep sea fishing. Always ‘welcome home’ and never ‘goodbye’, as this was considered unlucky at the start of a trip. It was provided by Mrs Lofthouse and Fisherman’s Friend – the famous lozenge made right here in the town. Designed and sculpted by Anita Lafford it was unveiled in 1997.
