The silhouette shows several areas of the area around Merthyr Tydfil. The Mountains, Terraced houses, Dowlais Stables, Cemetery, and mountain railway.
There was no plaque evident, I spoke to several locals, who identified the Dowlais area, but had no idea of the date placed other than its been there for several years.
