    Sneak Preview Of New Mining Artwork Created At County Durham Sculpture Studio

    A sneak preview has been given of a stunning centrepiece for a new development in a former colliery town.

    Metal sculptor Ray Lonsdale, the creator of the famous ‘Tommy’ soldier statue on the sea front at Seaham, has been commissioned to produce a showpiece feature paying homage to the industrial heritage of the former Houghton Colliery site, in Houghton-le-Spring.
