HAIG COLLIERY MINING MUSEUM GATES PROJECT

THIS PROJECT WILL TAKE THE DESIGNS DEVELOPED BY A LOCAL PRIMARY SCHOOL, USING WORKSHOPS, ARTEFACTS AND MEMORABILIA OF COAL MINING HERITAGE TO INFLUENCE THE DESIGN OF THE ENTRANCE GATES TO PRODUCTION AND INSTALLATION. THE GATES THEMSELVES WILL BE USED AS PART OF THE GEOLOGICAL INTERPRETATION OF THE COAL MINING IN THE AREA. THE GATES WILL REPRESENT A FORM OF ARTWORK AT BOTH THE ENTRANCE AND AN ADDITIONAL REPRESENTATION ON THE COASTAL PATH. THE PROJECT WILL CELEBRATE THE COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT IN THEIR DESIGN AND BRING ADDITIONAL PRIDE AND OWNERSHIP TO THE RESTORATION PROJECT.
