This mechanical clock was originally commissioned at a cost of £100,000 to represent Newport at the Ebbw Vale Garden Festival in 1992. It is 31 feet high and on the hour would slowly open to reveal a moving display of skeletons, devils, cuckoos and angels in a cloud of steam. It was designed by Andy Plant, a maker of interactive mechanical sculptures. After the festival it was erected in John Frost Square, Newport https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/7379437 and remained there until 2008 when the area was redeveloped. It is now on a roundabout on the outskirts of Newport as a static display https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5729086 .

A view SE along The Boulevard in the Victoria district of Ebbw Vale. The tall tree on the right is on the corner of Howards Way.

This is the southern side of Glan Ebbw Terrace. Nearest the camera is the former St Mary's Church, http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2624666 now converted into 3 flats.

Viewed across a road named Augusta Park.

Quiet peaceful reach from weir Image to culvert entrance, just behind camera.

Viewed from the southern edge of the single platform at the station. In the distance, a circular sign showing 30 is alongside a bend in the track. Houses in Brynhyfryd Terrace http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3989835 are on the left.

Opened in c.1852 as "Victoria" by the Monmouthshire Railway & Canal Company on the line from Newport (Gwent) to Ebbw Vale, this station (cut into the slope in the distance) closed in 1962 (all needs confirmation). This is now the location of Ebbw Vale Parkway station, the platform now being to the left of the track.

Weir where a pipe appears to be crossing the river.

Looking past the former St Mary's Church http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2624666 towards the southern end of Glan Ebbw Terrace 100 metres ahead. At the left edge of the view are vegetation and a fence beyond which is the Ebbw River.
