    Tips

    September 3, 2022

    Located alongside the Monmouthshire and Brecon canal, this wooden sculpture recalls the horse-drawn tram carts of the early nineteenth century, before railways. At that time, canals and tramways were used to carry freight, including items such as farm produce, timber, and beer in barrels. Coal was also carried for industrial use, domestic heating, and cooking. The main item to be carried was the local limestone so it could be burned in limekilns to produce lime for whitewash, fertiliser, and building mortar.
