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. Designed by sculptor Sally Matthews, the ponies were cast from recycled iron at Hargreaves Foundry in Halifax. Currently (July 2012) on display at Blaenavon Ironworks, the ponies will be relocated onto the landscape.
On the right is an obelisk Link dedicated to Sidney Gilchrist Thomas.
