NZ4250 : The Vane Tempest sculpture
taken 2 years ago, near to Seaham, County Durham, England
The Vane Tempest sculpture
The sculpture serves both as a memorial to the miners killed in the Vane Tempest Colliery and an interpretive installation providing information on the history of the mine. Made of steel, bronze, and plastic, it portrays the profile of the coal mine’s surface buildings, including the winding gear, boiler house, and chimney. Between the sculpture and the cliff there is a seating area where metal inlays in the floor represent the miles of tunnels created under the North Sea to access the coal seams.
