Two totems, towering over either side of a gateway into Parc-Coetir-Bargod. One features a train on one side with oak leaves and acorns on the other. The other depicts fish in a river and a pair of boxing gloves, representing the transition from industrialisation to parkland – a theme chosen by J. Kay Aplin who was lead artist on the park gates.
