Upper Rhondda - The Third Selection

Upper Rhondda - The Third Selection Synopsis

This third fascinating collection of archive photographs of Upper Rhondda traces some of the many ways in which the region changed during the 1970s and 1980s. This valley played such a crucial role in the shaping of modern Wales through the imagination of its engineers and the toil of those who worked underground. All aspects of everyday life are recorded, from shops and business, churches and schools, to images of work and leisure, day trips and days off. Its landscapes and landmarks are captured in this valuable historical record of life in the Upper Rhondda as it used to be and the changes that have since taken place.
