The work is a semi-circular gate on rails that slides into place. The artist said that: 'The contents of the museum inspired the design of the gate: nature in flower forms and a huge ammonite represent, the garden and the museum’s extensive collection of fossils, found in seams of northern coal; sextants and instruments of navigation; maps and the wheels of mine shafts; lighthouse lights and the architectural plans of ships represent the industry of the area. All cross and intertwine to create the structure of the gate.'
