In this print titled "The old and the new. . . retired miner John James" we are transported back to the nostalgic era of 1980s South Wales. The image showcases a resilient man, aged 63, named John James from Cwmbran. Despite his retirement from mining, he continues to embrace tradition by indulging in the timeless holiday experience at Trecco Bay in Porthcawl. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, it becomes evident that Mr. James embodies the spirit of resilience and unwavering dedication that defined an entire generation of miners. With weathered hands and a gentle smile etched on his face, he stands as a testament to their enduring strength.
