The Twisted Chimney (Welsh Simnai Dirdro)
"This imposing, twisted chimney stands 25 feet high and 50 feet long, located at the north of the Rhymney Valley, for all travelling on A465 to see. It was designed by New York based artist Brian Tolle and is his first installation in the UK. The sculpture was unveiled in 2010 and aims to create a futuristic vision rather than a being a literal depiction of the areas past. It is sited near the former Union Ironworks and on land that was once a railway line, and was created with input from the residents of Bute Town".
