In this print captured by Ron Harding, we are transported back to the 8th of August in 1967, where a young Philip Cole, aged just 17, stands amidst the towering structures of the Llandarcy oil refinery. With a pen and notebook in hand, his focused gaze is fixed on the sprawling oil plant before him. The image serves as a powerful reminder of an era when industry and progress were at their peak. The Llandarcy oil refinery was not only a symbol of economic growth but also provided countless job opportunities for individuals like Philip Cole. As he meticulously takes notes, one can imagine his enthusiasm and dedication towards understanding every aspect of this booming city's operations.
