South Gare ‘Horizons’
PAT WALLS
Standing in isolation on the edge of the sand dunes is a 3.6m tall monolith. Carved from Fletcher Bank gritstone, the circle in the sculpture offers two physical viewpoints.
It reflects how nature and industry exist side by side in this landscape. The piece is simple, striking, and yet graceful. Its form references shapes found in nature, and the imposing structures of the steelworks close by.

Did you Know?
South Gare is an area of reclaimed land on the southern side of the mouth of the River Tees. Before the building of South Gare, permanent dry land stopped at Tod Point, at the western end of Warrenby, and there was only Coatham Sands and the mudflats of Bran Sands. South Gare is a safe harbour in stormy weather to ships off the coast.
