“The Engineer”, designed by Rubin Eynon, is modelled on nineteenth century engineer Thomas A. Walker, who completed the construction of the Severn Tunnel and built Sudbrook village for his workers. The 2.4m tall figure is made from Corten steel and is placed on the old jetty at Black Rock, overlooking the Severn Estuary and the Second Severn Crossing.

“The Fisherman”, a huge oak figure of a lave net fisherman, was created by local chainsaw carver Chris Wood. Weighing in at 1.8 tonnes and standing 2.8m tall, the sculpture shows the fisherman wading thigh-deep through the grass chasing a salmon, which leaps out of the ‘water’ just in front of his net.
