Description: | A multi-element sculpture consisting of a main part carved from non-local stones and eight other blocks, all locally-hewn heavily laminated sandstone. The main element is carved with abstracted representations of spires visible from the mining site. All of the boulders also have designs carved on them inspired by visits to Durham Cathedral, such as trefoil windows and columns. The inscription runs across the 'subsidiary' boulders, with a few letters on each. Four of the letters also have additional carving to draw attention to them: they spell out COAL. | Subjects: | Sculpture | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Sculptor: Paton, David | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=7522... | Go to resource |
