In this print captured by Ron Harding, we are transported back to the 1960s, a time when Llandarcy oil refinery was at the heart of a booming industrial city. Blowerman Danny Evans takes center stage as he gazes out across the sprawling oil plant from atop a distillation tower on that memorable day of August 8th, 1967. The image exudes an air of nostalgia and significance, symbolizing not only the hard work and dedication put forth by individuals like Danny but also the immense growth and prosperity brought about by industries such as oil during that era. The towering structures in the background serve as a reminder of how this refinery played a crucial role in fueling progress for both local communities and national economies. With its stark contrast between light and shadow, this photograph beautifully captures the essence of manual labor amidst an ever-evolving landscape. It serves as a testament to the countless jobs created within these industrial powerhouses, providing livelihoods for families while driving economic development.
