A SET of sculptures were unveiled yesterday at a former incinerator site turned nature reserve.

The outdoor works, designed by artist Andrew McKeown with the help of local children, have been installed at the Portrack meadows site, Stockton. The ceremony was conducted by Stockton Mayor Mick Stoker.

Designed with the help of pupils from Tilery Primary, Norton Primary and High Clarence Primary, the sculptures represent the regeneration of the area over recent years.

Visible from the nearby A19 flyover, the artwork was installed by volunteers from Tees Valley Wildlife Trust during a recent task day.

At the same time, 400 wildflower plants were planted at the site.
