EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the industrial landscape of Port Talbot, West Glamorgan, South Wales, in the late 1960s. The view showcases the British Steel Corporation (BSC) works, a dominant feature of the town's skyline. The image is framed by rows of terraced houses in the foreground, their dark, weathered exteriors a stark contrast to the pristine white walls of the BSC buildings. The ominous cloud hanging above the town adds an ominous tone to the scene. This is not just any cloud, but a dark, dense plume of pollution, a byproduct of the heavy industrial processes taking place at the works. Smoke from the chimneys of the steel mills contributes to the gloomy atmosphere, further emphasizing the industrial nature of the town. The historical significance of this photograph lies in its portrayal of a time when the industrial sector was a major economic driver in the region. The 1960s were a pivotal decade for the steel industry in Wales, with the BSC works in Port Talbot being a key player. However, the environmental cost of this industrial growth was significant, as seen in this photograph. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the past, inviting reflection on the balance between economic development and environmental sustainability. It also offers a glimpse into the history of the town, which has since undergone significant transformation, with the BSC works now part of the Corus group and the town's economy diversifying beyond heavy industry.
