EDITORS COMMENTS
In this nostalgic photo print, we see twelve-year-old Martine Coles standing inside the iconic phone box in Pontypridd. Little did she know that this very phone box holds a special significance for one of the most renowned music legends of our time - Tom Jones. Having left his hometown behind to pursue fame and fortune in Los Angeles, Tom couldn't bear to part with his memories of Pontypridd. So, he decided to ship this beloved phone box all the way to his luxurious home in Bel Air as a constant reminder of where it all began. Back in the day, when love was blooming between Tom and his wife, this humble telephone booth played an integral role. It served as their private sanctuary for late-night conversations filled with laughter and affection. The mere sound of their voices reverberating through its walls kept their hearts connected despite being miles apart. The year captured within this photograph is 1978 - a vibrant era marked by groovy tunes and disco fever. As we gaze at young Martine making her call from within these historic walls, we are reminded not only of the power of communication but also how simple objects can hold immense sentimental value. This snapshot encapsulates an intimate moment frozen in time; it tells a story that transcends generations and reminds us that even global superstars like Tom Jones still cherish their roots and find solace in cherished memories from days gone by.
