A sculpture formed in stainless steel designed by Neil Wood to commemorate the mining heritage of the Cannock Chase Coalfield.
Eventually entitled ‘Heritage’ and funded by local businesses, the sculpture depicts miners and a colliery winding gear. It is located on Queen’s Square traffic roundabout approaching the town centre of Cannock and was unveiled in 2004 by the then Minister for the Arts, Rt Hon Estelle Morris MP.
As the sculpture is located on the traffic roundabout that many people negotiate on entering the town, Heritage provides a gateway for visitors to Cannock and has become a well-known landmark for its residents.
