EDITORS COMMENTS
The Colliery Arms Hotel, believed to be the oldest hotel in Pontypridd, stands tall and proud in this captured moment from November 7th, 1972. However, its fate is sealed as it faces demolition to make way for the ambitious Rhondda Road traffic scheme planned by the Glamorgan County Council. This photograph takes us back to a pivotal era in history - the 1970s - where progress and development were at the forefront of society's agenda. The arches of this iconic building serve as a reminder of its rich heritage and significance within the community. Amidst a backdrop of builders and construction workers diligently working towards their goal, we witness an industry that was once thriving now making room for modernization. This street scene captures both nostalgia and transformation simultaneously. Located in Mid Glamorgan, Wales, this image serves as a testament to the changing landscape of Pontypridd during this time period. As one can imagine, emotions ran high among locals who cherished memories made within these walls. While it is disheartening to see such an establishment being torn down, we must acknowledge that progress often demands sacrifice. Marshman's print encapsulates not only architectural history but also symbolizes how urban planning shapes our cities over time.
