An artwork to celebrate Normanton's proud mining history. 'Snap Time' is a happy pair of miners on their break, enjoying a joke and their snap. The sculpture is in three pieces, with the figures flanked by two large snap-tin benches. These have the names of some of the many miners' jobs now lost to time. The artist took inspiration from the strong camaraderie in Normanton’s mining community. Over 200 children and local residents were consulted. 'Snap Time' is designed as a happy, positive piece of work and does not include the usual iconography of mining memorials.
