The former coke works at Monkton hold memories in South Tyneside as a dark landmark belching smoke and fire. One NorthEast's redevelopment of the site enabled Helix Arts to begin an arts project that looked forward to a new life for the site.
Lead artist William Pym's role was to design a thematic landmark and to involve local trainees in the production of the sculpture, which now marks the gateway to the Business Park.
