Mural on Engine Lane, Eastwood
Image: © Stephen McKay Taken: 15 Nov 2009
This mural faces Engine Lane from the premises of Caunton Engineering, part of the Moorgreen Industrial Park; the building is one of the few that have survived from the old Moorgreen Colliery complex. The mural graphically depicts the change of land use of most of the site, from coal mining to country park, together with quotations from Eastwood's most famous son - D H Lawrence. The trauma of the disappearance of a once great industry on a community such as Eastwood should not be underestimated.
