Porthcawl - The old and the new. . . . . Retired miner John James, aged 63, of Cwmbran, still enjoys the traditional holiday at Trecco Bay, Porthcawl - 28th July 1980
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this charming photograph captured by Western Mail and Echo Copyright in the summer of 1980s, we are transported to a simpler time at Trecco Bay in Porthcawl. Amidst a backdrop of beachgoers enjoying their sunny day off, retired miner John James stands out with his unique blend of old-world charm and timeless humor. At the age of 63, John James proudly displays his Welsh heritage as he strolls along the sandy shoreline. His bare feet sink into the warm sand while his braces hold up well-worn trousers. A flat cap sits atop his head as a symbol of tradition and resilience. With an ever-present pipe clenched between his teeth, John exudes contentment as he paddles through shallow waters. Despite retiring from a physically demanding profession like mining, he continues to embrace life's simple pleasures during this annual vacation. The photograph captures not only a moment frozen in time but also serves as a reminder that some things never change – like the joy found in spending summers by Wales' beautiful coastline. It is an image that encapsulates nostalgia for days gone by while celebrating the enduring spirit of individuals like John who find solace amidst nature's beauty. This print is more than just an image;
