Robin of Pegswood Sculpture

Highlight • Monument

Robin of Pegswood designed to symbolise the area's mining heritage and links to Sherwood Forest in Nottingham.
The piece was created by local artist Tom Maley, whose previous work includes the bronze statue of Newcastle United legend Jackie Milburn on the approach to St James' Park and the unknown bronze soldier at the war memorial in Ashington.
Good marker for Pegswood turn where there is a co-op store if needed
