The waste tip at the former Chatterley Whitfield colliery is now part of an open space. There is a fine view over the former colliery, which retains a more complete set of buildings than any other former colliery site in the UK. The expected treatment of any objects set up in this area is reflected in the sturdy design of the bench.
