Ushaw Moor: The Roundy

'The Roundy' was commissioned as a memorial to the mining industry by residents group Ushaw Moor First which campaigns for improvements for the City of Durham village. Traditionally a Roundy was a miner's term for a large lump of coal, the Ushaw Moor Roundy stands at over four meters high and weighs over 14 tons!
