GIANT fish sculptures have been installed on top of the old Pump House by the River Severn.

The Screen House has been transformed into the Worcester Plinth, and the fish are the first of many planned art installations which are due to feature.

The team behind the derelict building, on Hylton Road, has said the location could be turned into something similar to the Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square.

The people behind The Worcester Plinth are not-for-profit Jigsaw Community Festivals, which has provided music and arts festivals across Worcestershire since 2009.

Oliver Carpenter said: "This is our first piece at the Worcester Plinth called The Return of the May Fish, which was created by stell sculptor, Alan Ross.

"The work was commissioned by the Canal and River's Trust to mark the end of the Unlocking the Severn project.

"The three fish are the endangered twaite shad species, which the project was in aid of.

"The fish will be with us for a month when they will then find their permanent home at the Diglis Fish Pass.

"We are incredibly pleased to be displaying this art installation."

The Jigsaw Community Festivals project is planning to bring new installations every month.

Mr Carpenter said: "We have had various ideas from festivals and charities that have approached us with ideas for art installations.

"As it gets darker, we are looking to install a lightbox on top of the building using the columns to illuminate the work.

"We are also open to all ideas from the public as well."

The old pump house was built in 1902 to supplement the water generated power produced at Powick Mills from 1894.

As demand grew this was itself replaced by a new steel-framed power station on the same site in 1945 and finally closed in 1976.

It has been unused since it was the water outlet for the power station which was demolished in 1979.

The Unlocking the Seven project has constructed a number of fish passes along the River Severn, including the popular Diglis Fish Pass, which features a viewing window to see twaite shad.
