This is a winding wheel from the former Highley Colliery which closed in 1969. The site now forms part of the Severn Valley Country Park. The wheel has been placed here to celebrate the people who worked in the local mines. It is near to the car park and surrounded by picnic tables and paved paths which lead down to Highley Station on the Severn Valley Railway.
