Newport's collapsing clock entitled 'In the nick of time' is a 9m high stainless steel sculpture weighing 6 tons. It was built as Newport Borough Council's contribution to the 1992 Garden Festival in Ebbw Vale.

And here's why it's called a collapsing clock. It causes a bit of an attraction every time it chimes.To really appreciate the amount of movement and number of animated characters you have to see it for yourself! No wonder they call it 'the only white-knuckle clock in the world'.

Newport has a large number of colourful mosaic murals depicting aspects of local history and everyday life in the city.

One of the most striking features of Newport is the extraordinary Steel Wave. Erected in 1990, Peter Fink's giant metal construction, built in recognition of Newport's debt to its steel industry, has become an integral feature of the Newport landscape.
