Sculpture remembering the pit ponies at a Flintshire colliery.
Point of Ayr, near Prestatyn, was the last remaining deep pit in north Wales when it closed in 1996.
Coal was mined from beneath the seabed there for more than 100 years.
The colliery was one of the last to be mechanised and pit ponies were used until 1968, with four underground stables housing around 70 animals.

Plenty of sculptures around Flint Castle definitely worth a stop if passing
