An image of a wooden sculpture of a mermaid riding a dolphin. The location name Pullover refers to an embanked area of beach top now used as a seating area and promenade. It is not recorded on GIS but the website http://www.mablethorpe.info notes: "At the time when goods were brought in by sea, wagons pulled by horses went out onto the beach to meet the cargo ships that were on the shore. When the cargo was transferred to the wagons they would return fully laden but could not get over the sea defence bank. That was when a second horse was used to pull over the heavily ladened wagon. Hence the name 'Pullover.'"
