Controversial work of art depicting a mineworker, the former miners institute is in the background, most people who write to the local paper expressing their dislike of the statue feel their comments are validated by stating how many years they worked underground so following that trend i can say that i worked at the coal face for over twenty years and personally I think it is a brilliant piece of art.
