Time and Tide Bell Installation
The Friends of Par Beach will be celebrating the installation of the Par ‘Time and Tide Bell’ on 20th April in the bay adjacent to Par Beach.
The Time and Tide Bell is a Public Artwork gifted to the Par Community. Its installation has only been possible due to the tireless efforts of the Friends of Par Beach and the support of local businesses and the local community. The installation of the bell is also being supported by the Making Space for Sand project and the project team.
The Time and Tide Bells initiative is a national project with 13 bells having been installed around the coastline of the UK and more planned for the future. The bells will be a symbol “to celebrate and reinforce local communities between different parts of the country, between the land and the sea and between ourselves and the environment”.
The bells are made of bronze and have been designed to be rich in harmonics and from one strike they sound different notes one after the other as a melody with the rise and fall of the tide. However, the chimes also ring out a warning of climate change and rising seas and the need to protect our coastline and environment for future generations.
