Six Bells Colliery was a coal mine located in Six Bells, Abertillery, Monmouthshire, Wales. On 28 June 1960 it was the site of an underground explosion which killed 45 local miners. It is now the site of an artistically acclaimed memorial to those events, designed by Sebastian Boyesen, and although the memorial is primarily to those who died in Six Bells, it also commemorates human losses in the entire South Wales coalfield.
The former colliery site has been landscaped and renamed Parc Arael Griffin. It has its own visitor centre in Ty Ebbw Fach just outside the main entrance. With restaurant, conference and a "valleys mining town experience" room it is open most days. The "Parc" is also now a point on the Ebbw Fach trail. In 2010, a 20 metres (66 ft) high statue called the Guardian was erected near the site of the old colliery to commemorate the 1960 disaster. Designed by Sebastian Boyesen, it is fabricated with thousands of steel ribbons. The statue was unveiled by The Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams on 28 June 2010. Known as the Guardian, the statue has been described as "a Welsh answer to Antony Gormley's Angel of the North.
