This 2012 sculpture by Xceptional Designs brings the memory of the Montagu View Pit disaster back to the heart of the community. Life-size steel figures depict a miner leading a workhorse, on which two children are seated, symbolizing the heritage of yesteryear and the hope for future generations.
Additional elements—a frog, a tank, and a house—represent Scotswood's unique character, its industrial history, and the neighborhood's regeneration efforts, respectively. The official unveiling took place on June 9, 2012, with local children and residents actively involved in the design and construction.
