A ceramic sculpture, on a brick and cement pedestal, shows the history and landmarks of the town.

Made of galvanised cast iron on a plinth of handmade bricks, "Relaunch" depicts four figures, a Monk, a Miller, a Miner, and a Marine Engineer, each important to the history of Selby.

"Three Swans", made of galvanised cast iron, relates to the town's coat of arms.

The sculpture, supported by West Lothian Council, celebrates the history of mining in the area and shows several miners and the inscription "Fauldhouse a Community Built on Coal".
