Herrington Colliery: Site Lines
Sculptor David Paton worked alongside opencast miners and landscape design professionals to produce a series of sculptures and carvings from sandstone excavated from the former deep mine site and vast pit heap in Herrington.
In 2001 the site reopened as a huge country park. A unique arts project within British opencast mining, it required significant partnership support from One NorthEast, RJB and Crouch Mining.
