The Bathing Belle is now in Westborough & The Diving Belle is on Lighthouse Pier completing this Civic Society Public Art project.

The steel post of the Belles represents the constraints of society on women’s freedom. In the Bathing Belle the post represents not only the bathing machine to shield her modesty but all the constraints on women’s behaviour in the Victorian era.


The Diving Belle can be seen from anywhere on South Bay, and is well worth a visit. In the evening the pier has its new lighting scheme, and the Belle has spotlights.
