The sculpture is by ex-resident Alan Mantle (originally from Arthog) and contains forty-one figures. It's the first bespoke public artwork ever to be installed in Dolgellau. It is carved from a fallen Sweet Chestnut tree from near Craig yr Aderyn (Bird Rock)

With the ramped road surface I imagine it could be a refuge for a Security or Gate Man at the entrance to some works etc.  So inside it would have a couple of chairs, a tea pot, and the impedimenta to go with such a use.

No, sorry Yorkie. nothing like that.
The answer is more likely to be known by a female member of the forum and I know at least two have been there.

Last clue and then I will give the answer if nobody gets it.
It is near a shipwreck.

Well done Hugo. This building is crammed full of knitting wool for sale. There are several different buildings which are attractively arranged like a small village. The largest sells fabrics and another one sells craft and hobby items.
There is also a nice looking cafe and access to the coast path and the grounded ship.
A fascinating place and thank you suepp for the original recommendation.

              I seem to remember something like this on the coastal path between Rhoscolyn and Tre-arddur Bay and it was called Bwa Gwyn ("White Arch"), but I think it was bigger than this one.
