THE fishing industry has been depicted in a big new stained glass window made by leading North Yorkshire artist Val Green, and which was admired by the Duke of York when he opened the new fish marketing centre at Hull.
The focal point of Mrs Green's commissioned window features a compass with a fisherman waving goodbye to his children, a giant cod, and a trawler based on the Gaul, the Hull trawler which sank in Icelandic waters several years ago.
Mrs Green created the window at her stained glass centre at Killerby Lane, Cayton, which is now a leading tourist attraction in the Scarborough area.
She has made windows for cathedrals and village churches, hotels, restaurants, public houses and private homes nationwide.
