A “BOLD and striking” sculpture depicting the significant role Llanberis played within the globally recognised slate landscape of North Wales is being planned.

sculpture at Llanberis
The artwork crafted from local slate is being developed in Llanberis as part of a series of town centre improvements across the “Slate Landscape of Northwest Wales - World Heritage Site”.
The Llanberis sculpture will reflect the theme of the role of women and domestic life in the slate industry, described as a “hidden history not currently well interpreted”.
Cyngor Gwynedd is working with artist Howard Bowcott and the community for the feature to sit beside the waters of Llyn Padarn.
A full application for the installation of the sculpture has been submitted to council's planners, by Amy Jones of the economy and community department.
