The picture here shows sculptor Joseph Hayton in his completed Pillars Past sculpture on the Way of the Roses Travelling Histories project at Pateley Bridge in Yorkshire.

The sculpture is one of five commissioned by Sustrans for the 170mile Way of the Roses coast-to-coast route that joins Morecambe in the west with Bridlington in the East.

Sustrans is a charity working with the government to create a national network of cycle routes.

Pillars Past is carved in Johnsons Wellfield Quarries’ Crosland Hill Yorkstone – and the quarry company was so impressed with Joseph Hayton’s plans for the sculpture that it donated the stone.
