EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the historical charm and working-class character of Llanhilleth's back-to-back terraced housing in Blaenau Gwent, South Wales. Built during the 1870s, these houses were a common feature of industrial communities in South Wales during the Victorian era. The image showcases the unique architecture of the alleyway, with its mixture of brick and stone walls, and ramshackle corrugated iron roofing. The Llanhilleth Colliery, which dates back to the very early 19th century, can be traced to the origins of this community. By 1890, three shafts were in operation, making it a significant coal mining site in the region. The colliery closed in 1969, leaving behind a rich industrial history. This photograph transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the daily lives of the working-class families who once called these terraced houses their home. The walls, worn and weathered by the passage of time, tell a story of resilience and community, while the alleyway, shrouded in shadows, invites us to imagine the lives of the people who walked these streets in the 1870s and beyond. This image is a poignant reminder of the history and heritage of Llanhilleth and the coal mining industry in South Wales.
