Wheel of Time 2008
The metal ring represents the community in Birtley with the text showing
both the new & old areas that make up the town. The metal ring is made in brushed Stainless steel with the text laser cut into the surface.
The two brick towers are constructed from a mixture of aged bricks with an
uneven colour & rough texture, along with new looking smooth evenly coloured ones. The pillar has the old bricks at the base, new bricks at the top & a mixture in the middle giving a graduated effect. There used to be seven brick companies in the town, now only one still remains. The choice of bricks represents the history of Birtley & the present day while the shape of the pillars gives reference to the industrial heritage of the town.
