Tower sculpture, Pontypool
Located in the middle of Riverside Roundabout at the junction of the A4043 and Riverside.
This is one of three artworks created by sculptor Robert Kennedy based on ideas contributed by young people in Torfaen. Named 'The Tower, the sculpture has a Welsh slate base topped with a block of Portland stone hand carved in a flame pattern. The dark colouring represents the heavy industry that formerly occupied the valley from here to Blaenavon. The flame pattern suggests furnaces, and also the flame of ideas.

No longer a bus stop in Osborne Road, Pontypool
I had seen no buses in Osborne Road for the 30 minutes or so that I had been in the area, so I was surprised to see this bus stop pole with a sign on it showing several bus routes.
On closer inspection, I saw that there was a Stagecoach in South Wales customer information notice lower down the pole. It stated that from January 21st 2008, this bus stop is no longer in use. Buses operate via Riverside and Market Square instead. The bus stop pole is still here in early January 2014, nearly 6 years later...
