EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the vibrant streets of Butetown, Cardiff on a chilly winter day in 1960. The focal point of the image is none other than Fishmonger Tommy Letton, standing proudly beside his trusty barrow. With a weathered face and hands that have seen years of hard work, Tommy exudes the resilience and determination characteristic of those who make their living from the sea. The bustling Christina Street serves as the backdrop for this snapshot in time. Located near the docks, it was a hub of activity for fishermen like Tommy who brought fresh catches straight from Toger Bay to eager customers at nearby markets. The aroma of saltwater lingers in the air as seagulls swoop overhead, adding an authentic touch to this scene frozen forever in history. Tommy's stall showcases an impressive array of fish meticulously arranged on ice - a testament to his dedication to providing quality seafood to his community. As he interacts with passersby and loyal customers alike, one can almost hear his booming voice haggling over prices or sharing stories about life at sea. This print captures not just a moment but also encapsulates an entire era defined by hard work, camaraderie among traders, and a deep connection between people and their food sources. It serves as a poignant reminder that behind every market stall lies countless untold stories waiting to be discovered.
