Mooring Point
Metal Ring, Chain and Clasp
Bristol Harbour – 13th January 2023
The history that has traversed the cobbles of this quay at Bristol Harbour has been written and is out there for all, who wish, to see. Both the triumphs and tradegies of times and people.
The metal ring, chain and clasp in the photograph is relatively modern so, probably, has been employed only in the tying off of harbour boats. In the past such a fixing could well have been used to tie off small ships or restrain animals; live stock; prisoners of war and other human beings, travellers and the trafficked!
Such is Bristol's long and chequered history.
