The town of Doncaster has never seemed all that exciting a place to me, but it does have some decent public art: see this mural, for instance, which I pictured on a previous visit and nearly did again, today. Then there is this memorial, which is obviously for some aspect of the coal mining industry (the main statue is clearly a miner, and there are names of collieries on plaques around the base), is impressive, but, I think, also slightly creepy — there’s a ‘buried alive’ thing going on. Although maybe that’s exactly the point.
