A sculpture by Betty Newman-Maguire erected in 2002. The sculptor’s comments are worth recording “Peregrine are found in the hills all around Belfast and the inspiration came from being made aware of this. I felt the material should be both durable and pliable, therefore welded steel was used in fabricating the large bird form. A 30 foot telegraph pole was provided so that the bird could be placed out of harm’s reach and also that it could read well against Belfast Lough”. Belfast Lough and harbour are in the background. Last seen in Image (May 2007).
