Hi guys, I have uploaded to Flickr some photo's of a new sculpture on a roundabout in Pegswood Northumberland ( between Ashington and Morpeth). It is known locally as " Robin of Pegswood" because it looks like an archer. I believe it is meant to depict a miner emerging from the Yard Seam. I do not know the sculptors name but it is a superb piece of art so well done to who ever created it. You can view the photographs at the following link www.flickr.com/photos/81450432@N03/ |

You can view the photographs at the following link www.flickr.com/photos/81450432@N03/According to The Journal, the sculpture was commissioned by landowner Bothal Estates, part of the Welbeck Estates, to reflect the area’s mining heritage. It’s official name is Fire (why, I’ve no idea). Connection is Welbeck Estates owns part of Sherwood Forest – home of Robin Hood. Artist was Tom Maley. I ended up at Ashington on Saturday, well, Wansbeck A&E actually. Nothing serious. The sculpture is certainly different from other mining sculptures I've seen. |

Hi ragger,
Yes I have recently learned that it is by Tom Maley, he did a sculpture of Jackie Milburn, I had no idea about the Welbeck estates connection or the fact that it was called " Fire "
thanks for editing the url John.
