An original pit wheel is currently being restored before it is proudly displayed in an area of Washington.
The large heritage wheel which was recovered from Washington’s F Pit Museum, is currently in the early stages of restoration, and will be installed at Albany with works already starting on site. Preparation work will get started over the next few days for the wheel to take centre stage on a raised plinth, as a distinctive community focal point.
The wheel is being brought back to its best as part of the F Pit regeneration project and will eventually stand in landscaped public realm when wider improvement plans for the area move forward.
