As part of the expansion of Portishead after the old docks closed, there were a number of public artworks dotted around. This one is a set of oversized horse nails, created by the collective of artists. The nails recall the products of the (now lost) Mustad's factory; that used to be further towards the old docks before closing in 1987 and occupied the place where Homebase and McDonald's are now.
