Another art installation, one of several in and around the old dock: this piece is 'When Shall We Three Meet Again ...?' by Robert Stuart Clamp. It consists of three giant matches that have been lit and the stumps remains. It reflects on the use of phosphorus in the ignition of matches - a chemical imported into Portishead by Albright and Wilson, a major firm of the time.
