On the eve of the First World War, it was decided that the new Cardiff City Hall would house the ‘Welsh Historical Sculpture’, a hall of fame celebrating eleven prominent figures in the nation’s history. The Open University booklet ‘Icons of Wales’, which complements the major BBC TV series The Story of Wales, examines the history of the people of Wales through the eleven City Hall ‘icons’ and why they were chosen.
