Shining in the morning sunshine the centurion looks towards Brough Haven where once was an important harbour used by the Romans. At that time it was possible to ford the River Humber on foot. This sculpture, celebrating Britain's link with historic Roman Britain, was created by local artist Rodney Wilson and installed in 2013.
