Watling Woods bench, Leadgate
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!"
