Description
The Guard Rail and Steps at Merthyr Tydfil War Memorial is a tall niche made of Portland stone, featuring a moulded arched top, tapering sides, and a stepped base with pedestals on either side. At the center is a bronze figure representing one of the Three Fates, who is depicted bearing or measuring the Web of Life. This figure stands on a pedestal adorned with war trophies. Flanking the central figure are two standing figures: one of a miner and another of a woman carrying a child.
A curved flight of steps leads down to a bronze guardrail, dating from around 1930, which features a classical torch motif. Additionally, there are ironwork urns on the front wall.
