Three separate open books carved in in stone and inscribed with words from Dylan Thomas's poem 'Fern Hill', are affixed to the wall, and attached by metal ribbons to a stone cherub, holding a pen and a quill, perched on top of a semi-circular tower. They were installed by bookseller Jeff Towns when his Dylan’s bookstore traded here from the mid-1970s to 2000.
