Flood wall art plaque - Judy the goldfish
This is one of 40 plaques installed around the city's new flood walls in 2009 - for information see Image .
The plaque is located on the post of a floodgate next to Carlisle United's football ground at Brunton Park (view of location here http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4868946 ). During the floods which devastated Carlisle in 2005, the pitch was deluged with several feet of water. As it was being pumped out, a goldfish was found swimming in a pool at the goalmouth. The fish was identified as Judy, washed out of a flooded house across the road. The little girl who owned it donated her pet as a mascot to the club, where it lived for another five years (see BBC news http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/funny_old_game/4183989.stm ).
In December 2015, when the district was again severely flooded, history repeated itself - as the pitch was cleaned up three koi carp were found at the same place in the goalmouth, and a man came to reclaim them ( itv News http://www.itv.com/news/2015-12-10/what-a-catch-carlisle-find-three-koi-carp-in-goalmouth-during-flood-clean-up/ ).
We believe the artwork is by Liam Curtin.
