Workhorse sculpture, Blackwood bus station approach
Located alongside the entrance road to Blackwood bus station, viewed from near the corner of Gordon Road. "Workhorses" by local artist Rubin Eynon depicts horses that were formerly used to haul trams between Sirhowy Valley ironworks and Newport Docks, in the days before the railways and steam haulage. At that time, around the start of the 19th century, the route followed by the workhorses included a section through woodlands, now occupied by Blackwood town centre.
The sculpture can also be interpreted figuratively - by their hard work, the horses were pulling Blackwood from a rural past into an industrialised future.
Each horse combines layers of three metals,copper,mild steel and stainless steel. The decorative floral patterns contain oak leaves, representing the ancient woodlands covering the Blackwood area before industrialisation.
The sculpture was funded by the Arts Council of Wales, supported by Caerphilly County Borough Council.
