Adrift

John Cassidy's statue Adrift, situated near Manchester Central Library.

The plinth states:

"Humanity adrift on the sea of life, depicting sorrows and dangers, hopes and fears and embodying the dependence of human beings upon one another, the response of human sympathy to human needs, and the inevitable dependence upon divine aid."

Someone has appropriated the man's chest for an anti-austerity message... and the man does have the look of Jeremy Corbyn.


The extra is of the River Medlock, taken from Charles Street bridge.
