EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the haunting reality of pollution caused by smoke fumes pouring from the chimney of a Re Chem chemical incineration plant in Pontypool, South Wales. Taken in December 1986, during the height of industrialization, this image serves as a stark reminder of the environmental challenges faced by communities in the 1980s. The dense plumes of smoke billowing out from the towering chimney symbolize the detrimental impact that unchecked industrial practices had on our environment. The toxic chemicals released into the air posed a significant threat to both human health and nature's delicate balance. This photograph stands as an enduring testament to those affected by such pollution. Surrounded by houses and housing estates, it is impossible to ignore how closely intertwined industry was with residential areas during this era. The juxtaposition between homes and heavy industry highlights not only the physical proximity but also raises questions about social responsibility and accountability. Decades later, we can reflect upon this image as a turning point in our collective consciousness towards sustainable practices and environmental protection. It reminds us that progress should never come at such a high cost – one that jeopardizes our health or damages our planet irreparably. As we gaze upon this poignant snapshot captured by Memory Lane Prints for Sunday Mirror, let us be reminded of how far we have come since then while acknowledging that there is still much work ahead to ensure a cleaner future for generations to come.
