The Scutcher by Thomas Telfer at Millom
The Scutcher and Clock Tower, Millom, Cumbria.
The Scutcher, by Colin Telfer of Maryport, is made from a mixture of resin and iron ore dust from the Florence Mine at Egremont.
A scutcher was a tough man who had to stop the heavy iron ore tubs by thrusting a metal bar through the wheels.
Colin Telfer joined an art course when he was made redundant after spending more than twenty years at the coal pits and Workington Steelworks.
