Cast iron pit ponies, Blaenavon Ironworks
These pit pony statues were funded by the Heads of the Valleys programme as part of the Welsh Government regeneration initiative. Each one is six feet long from nose to tail and weighs 2 tons.

Currently (July 2012) on display at Blaenavon Ironworks, the ponies will be relocated onto the landscape. On the right is an obelisk http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3052009 dedicated to Sidney Gilchrist Thomas.

Obelisk portrait of Sidney Gilchrist Thomas, Blaenavon Ironworks
The portrait is part of this obelisk. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3052009 The dedication on the obelisk records that Sidney Gilchrist Thomas, with his cousin Percy Carlyle Gilchrist, carried out the first successful experiments for the removal of phosphorus from molten iron in a basic-lined Bessemer Converter during the period 1877-1878 on this site of the former Blaenavon Iron and Steel Company. This invention pioneered the basic Bessemer or Thomas Process and other basic steelmaking processes throughout the world. Sidney Gilchrist Thomas died in 1885 aged only 34. The cause of death was a lung disease exacerbated by years of overwork.
