20M TALL STATUE
THE LARGEST MEMORIAL IN WALES
GUARDIAN
MINING DISASTER MEMORIAL
Completed in 2010, Guardian was commissioned to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the 1960 mining disaster in Six Bells that claimed the lives of 45 men. The amazing 20 metre sculpture towers over the site of the former colliery where the tragedy occurred and is a fitting tribute to the men whose names are cut into panels wrapped around the memorial plinth.
