The Swan Arches at Memorial Gardens was designed and made by Antony and Simon Robinson. Each truss is of tapering triangular section curving in two planes and ending with a large soaring swan.

The relief images on the legs of the arches were designed by children from Kingscroft Primary School and show local heritage images which were translated into stainless plaques fixed to each truss.
