"Reflects upon history to understand the present"
Just off the Heads of the Valleys road, north of Butetown, sits an eye-catching sight. Is it the remains of an old chimney from an ironworks?

A fascinating sculpture, nevertheless an image which could become iconic for South Wales. Exactly why it has been positioned here is a puzzle, but you may learn more from the link below.
