Description
Bargoed in Caerphilly County, South Wales in the United Kingdom is a former mining town and one of the key towns in the Rhymney Valley. The colliery was sunk in 1897 with the first coal being raised in 1901. The colliery eventually closed in 1977.
This street art sculpture depicting three miners’ heads is situated on Hanbury Square in Bargoed in South Wales in the United Kingdom.
Standing almost four metres tall, ‘Miners Heads’, designed by artist Malcolm Robertson forms a bold interpretation of three miners, joined together to signify brotherhood.

Wow, your processing really accentuates the strength of this sculpture!
Steve Purnell replied:
Many thanks Sally. I've been waiting months for it to be painted as there were some horrible grey marks where the pieces had been fitted together but didn't quite fit properly.
