The only thing that annoys me with this statue is the location. This would be more suited towards Johnstown? rather than just before Plas Madoc.

I’ve noticed a few buildings in the bushes (across the road from the caravan place)which I presume are part of the colliery. It would be nice if the area was cleared of bushes etc and the buildings made visible from the road.
