Terris Novalis (detail)
Built on the site of the oldest commercial railway line in Britain—the Stanhope and Tyne Railway Line—this sculpture marks the location of what was once Europe’s largest steelworks.
The sculptures are 20 times the size of the tools they represent. The stainless steel theodolite and engineer’s level stand on the top of a small hill and are visible for miles around. The sculptures of these 19th-century instruments are a monument to the history and industry of the local area.
