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.
From the artists web site: "This major work is in the centre of Cardiff and commemorates the manual workers of Cardiff Docks. It is sited above the culverted canal that supplied coal to Cardiff Docks. The hands are over 2 metres high" Text Source: (
