A cone-shaped stainless steel sculpture forms the focal point and symbolic gateway on the roundabout at the entrance to Hermiston Retail Park. This was also the entrance to the old Consett Steelworks. The sculpture pays homage to the blast furnace, with thousands of small crystals woven into the cables which are illuminated to replicate the glow of the smelting process. The glow and the light also reflect the spirit of Consett as a modern, clean town.
