The "Dream" is a 20 metre high sculpture which is located on the former site of the Sutton Manor Coal Colliery in St Helens. It is visible from the M62 between junctions 7 & 8 and was hoped to become a powerful symbol of the North West akin to Anthony Gormley's Angel of the North located in Gateshead.
