The 10 metre high artwork is situated in Windmill Hills Town Park a small landscaped area behind Greensfield Business Centre, near the Borough Arms pub.

This contemporary wind vane commemorates the windmills that once stood in the area. Wonderful views of the Tyne Gorge can also be accessed from the viewing platform.
