New Sunderland Square, Public square with maritime sculpture in Sunderland, England
The square features a 3.5-meter diameter glass and bronze propeller sculpture that visitors can rotate to view photographs of shipyard workers.
Completed in 2015 on the former Vaux Brewery site, the square represents 600 years of shipbuilding industry that defined Sunderland's economic growth.
The Keel Line structure within the square displays illustrations by Bryan Talbot that document the maritime heritage of Sunderland through time.
Located opposite the Vaux Site in the north of the city center, the square provides a central meeting point constructed with sandstone and granite materials.
The embedded collection of 500 photographs in the Propellers of the City sculpture presents personal narratives from generations of local shipbuilding families.
