We passed this sculpture several times on our way to and back from the hotel but I was never able to find any placard or other source of information on it.
.. update. Thanks to eagle-eyed and dedicated blog-follower Lois A Jay, I can now link to more information on the background of this sculpture, All Hands.
Then you can delete my comment so all the info is in your post. But they should definitely have a placard for this sculpture!
Google to the rescue: “The 10 feet tall sculpture known as ‘All Hands’ by Brian Fell, dedicated in 2001, depicts the Canal workers pulling their boats along with heavy ropes.
Located on the path of the historic Glamorganshire Canal (Now the X10 bus stop at Custom House Street).
The sculpture appears to be bronze, but it is fabricated from welded steel, & then tinted.”
Fantastic! Now I can go back and update the post
