This sculpture was originally commissioned and displayed in The Hayes in Cardiff in the 1970's as part of a UK wide series of public art. It was designed and made by sculptor Garth Evans as a symbol of our industrial heritage. After a few months on display it was moved to storage in Leicestershire. A local Arts Centre, Chapter, ran a successful campaign to get the sculpture returned after a break of 47 years. Even so, this may not be its permanent home in the Welsh capital as the current installation is temporary.
