EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, a determined young boy is captured in the midst of an uphill struggle as he pushes his bicycle along a steep and winding road in Ebbw Vale, South Wales. The year is 1988, and the once-thriving steel industry that dominated the town's landscape is now a fading memory. The iconic Ebbw Vale steelworks, which loom ominously in the background, were closed by Corus in 2002, marking the end of an era for the community. The boy's focused expression and the laborious effort he puts into pushing his bicycle up the hill serve as a poignant reminder of the resilience and determination of the people of Ebbw Vale in the face of adversity. The steep hill, which may represent the challenges and hardships faced by the community, is a formidable obstacle, but the boy's unwavering determination to overcome it is a testament to the human spirit. The photograph, taken in the late 1980s, offers a glimpse into a bygone era, a time when the steel industry was the backbone of the town and the lives of its people were deeply intertwined with the rhythms and demands of the works. The image also serves as a powerful reminder of the transformative power of time, as the once-thriving industrial landscape gives way to new beginnings and the promise of a brighter future. This photograph, by the renowned Welsh photographer Philip Dunn, is a poignant and evocative snapshot of a community in transition, and a testament to the enduring power of human spirit and determination.
