Seaham Sculpture Three, which is now on the old site of Dawdon, Colliery in the UK.

New shafts were sunk on the rocky coastal area of Noses Point, close to the ancient settlement of Dawdon. Sinking work began in March 1900, but soon ran into problems. Water-bearing rocks proved difficult to excavate, which meant freezing techniques had to be used. The colliery finally opened for production in October 1907. Dawdon reached the peak of its employment in 1925, when 3862 men and boys helped to produce over one million tonnes of coal annually. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dawdon
