A wood carving and polishing business has been established in a garden adjoining the Consett and Sunderland railway path which also carries the world famous C2C cycle route. Inscriptions on the bench read: "Joe and Mark helped to make me This seat was made by some of us for all of us Can you help? Art-e-factory and care-takers Working together with anyone who cares Carve the bark and polish the spot Have a go - try - but leave me better than you found me!"
