Re Birth

On a regular journey to one of our schools in Warwickshire I found a new addition to a nearby traffic island. In an area steeped in mining history the winding wheel from the last pit to close - Daw Mill- ( I posted the remains of the colliary a few months ago) has been preserved as monument to an industry now gone and the men who gave their lives extracting the stuff of our industrial heritage. The other half is a gate guardian to the new local primary school. 

I think this monument may be the subject of a few future blips given the right lighting :)
