'Seats with a View', above the Ouseburn

Image: © Andrew Curtis Taken: 19 Feb 2012

A circle of seats and stone blocks by Bridget Jones, David Edwick & Tim Kendall (2000) tell story fragments by Chris Bostock and Malcolm Green - storytellers based at the Cumberland Arms, situated close by. The sword dancers and fiddle players, who also meet at the pub, suggested the motifs carved into the stones. Local children have helped to design the flowers carved into the seats and the lettering on the standing stone, which tells us we are on “The Grassy Hill”. The artwork was commissioned by the Ouseburn Art Project.
