Looking across the roundabout is the reminder of Beighton's mining and industrial past - a statue by David Mayne entitled "Timeworks 1" erected in 2004. Behind me (I'm facing north-ish) is the Beighton Drakehouse Lane tram stop. To my right is the Crystal Peaks shopping centre and to the right, just out of shot is the Gypsy Queen pub. More information including closeups on the statue can be found at http://public-art.shu.ac.uk/sheffield/may382im.html
