Show on map Sphere by Steve Tomlinson was installed on 5th May 2007
It weighs 5.2 tonnes and is five metres in diameter, it was fabricated by SBV Fabrications and Site Services. The spheres arrows light up at night, but sadly it hasn’t been maintained despite costing  £165,000 and is covered in large rust patches just 5 years later.
As of March 2013 the council have scrapped this sculpture
. Whatever you opinion of the art that’s a disgraceful waste of money for just five years.
Show on map Where the A66 starts there are three buoys on the roundabout.
These were placed in 2004 and donated by Teesport operators, PD Ports
It is one of four ‘gateways’ that were constructed at a cost of £220,000 in a project between Redcar and Cleveland Council, One NorthEast and the Tees Valley Partnership.
Show on map Judging from the style this must be a Steve Iredale chainsaw sculpture as there are others in the same cemetary.
The owl also resembles those in Errington Woods and Guisbrough Forest
Show on map This sculpture by Brian Russell stands outside Natures World, it’s dated April 2006.
Show on map This impressive mosaic tells the story of the year 2000 floods in Skinningrove

Show on map The pirate cat in the crow’s nest was previously on the site of the new Redcar Beacon (vertical pier) from where it was removed in March 2011
They have now moved to the top of the High Street next to the ‘Redcar Figures’
Looks like a lick of paint wouldnt have hurt before it was re-erected. I beleive its been adopted by Redcar In Bloom and the children of Zetland Primary School.
Show on map This was instantly recognisable as one of Steve Iredales chainsaw carving as it resembles those in Errington Woods.
It was carved from a dying Chestnut tree in January 2008 and can be seem to have weathered-in a lot since its unveiling
Show on map The sculpture ‘Growth’ and Andrew McKeown dates from 2009
It stands in Linthorpe Cemetary on the site of the two identical chapels builts in the 1870, one for CofE and one for other religions. Sadly the last remains of the chapels were removed in 1986, their outlines remain in stone.
Show on map The original knitting was removed, repaired and returned just in time for the Olympics with this additional item.
I didn’t visit during that period, but I assume this addition must have come after the athletes success.
Show on map Trains last travelled along this railway line to Guisborough in 1964 (although the station here closed in 1951). This carriage is now used as an education centre.
