EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, two Merthyr Tydfil boys are seen engaging in a playful moment above the old steel works, now long since closed. The boys, dressed in typical 1980s attire, sit atop a weathered bench, their faces filled with mischief and laughter. One boy balances precariously on the edge of the bench, daringly leaning over the edge with a gleeful expression. The other boy, holding a Raleigh bicycle, appears to be encouraging his friend's daring antics with a playful grin. The industrial backdrop of the steel works, with its towering chimneys and rusted machinery, serves as a stark contrast to the carefree innocence of the boys' horseplay. The rough, urban landscape of Merthyr Tydfil, once a bustling center of industrial activity, now stands as a testament to the passage of time and the changing economic fortunes of the region. This image captures the essence of childhood and the joy of simple pleasures, as the boys engage in a bit of rough and tumble tomfoolery. The scene is reminiscent of the classic image of urban urchins, larking about and making the most of their surroundings. The boys' high jinks and skylarking are a reminder of the enduring spirit of enjoyment and fun that can be found even in the most unexpected places. Despite the redundant steel works and the industrial landscape that surrounds them, the boys' laughter and playful banter are a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of children, who can find joy and fun in even the most unlikely of places. This photograph, taken in Merthyr Tydfil, South Wales, in the late 1980s, is a poignant reminder of a bygone era and the simple pleasures of childhood. Photographer Philip Dunn captured this moment in time, preserving it for future generations to appreciate and reflect upon. This image, published first in The Sunday Times in 1989, is a timeless reminder of the power of play and the enduring spirit of childhood.
