Arch Builders Construction Demolition Industry And Work Rhondda Seventies 1972
17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic print captured by Marshman, we witness the bittersweet end of an era. The Colliery Arms Hotel, believed to be the oldest hotel in Pontypridd, stands tall amidst a bustling street scene in 1972. However, its fate is sealed as it succumbs to demolition to make way for the Glamorgan County Council's planned Rhondda Road traffic scheme. The image showcases not only the architectural beauty of the hotel but also provides a glimpse into the construction and industry prevalent during that time. A sturdy arch frames the entrance, hinting at its grandeur and welcoming past guests from all walks of life. As builders work tirelessly on dismantling this iconic landmark, one cannot help but feel a sense of loss for what once was. The Colliery Arms Hotel holds within its walls countless stories and memories shared by locals and visitors alike. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of how progress often comes at a cost. While modernization is necessary for growth and development, it is essential to acknowledge our heritage and preserve elements that hold sentimental value. Marshman's lens captures not just bricks being torn down but also echoes fading whispers from generations gone by. As we reflect upon this snapshot frozen in time, let us remember that history shapes our present and future – even when it crumbles before our eyes.
