Camerton Parish Councillor, Sue Collins, says: “It’s the Jolly Collier statue in Camerton, which stands in the entrance next to the capped mine shaft at Camerton Batch Local Nature Reserve (the old pit batch).

“It’s actually one of two Miner statues cast from the original, which was made for the 1951 Festival of Britain. This one used to stand in the car park outside The Jolly Collier pub on Durcott Lane until this closed in the early 1990s, after which it was bought and donated to Camerton Batch and moved to its current position.

“Thanks to a grant from District Ward Councillors, Matt McCabe and Neil Butters, it’s recently been completely refurbished as part of ongoing work within the Batch.”
