Geocache Description:



The Arc (y Bwa) Sculpture in Wrexham. Located at the junction of Lord Street and Egerton Street.

The sculptor was David Annand and the sculpture was unveiled in 1996.

 

Two figures on brick plinths, feet astride two steel arcs with the figures at full stretch, each trying to bend the Arc to meet at the top.

Figures depicted are a miner and a steel worker and the Arc represents the area’s industrial heritage. The attempt to bend the Arc to meet at the top symbolises the co-operation between the industries to achieve common goals. A poem in Welsh by Myrddin Ap Dafydd from Llanrwst depicting in verse the toil and collectiveness of manual work, is engraved on The Arc.

Your looking for a magnetic nano. This area of the town is muggle central so stealth will be required to retrieve the cache.
