A 100ft high artwork of a miner adorns a beach famously washed over each day with millions of coal particles which once supplied the former colliery.
The giant bare-chested figure chiselling coal was carved into the sand at Cambois Beach in Northumberland.
Despite the nearby pit shutting in 1968, the village's industrial past is still evident by the black coal particles coating the shoreline.
The artwork was created by retired GP turned artist Claire Eason who spent hours painstakingly drawing the image with a rake at low-tide on Sunday (11/5).
