EDITORS COMMENTS
Mr Cyril Owens, a resident of Bwllfa Cottages in Gelli, stands tall in his garden as he surveys the aftermath of a terrifying tip slide that occurred just the day before. The photograph captures Mr Owens amidst the lush greenery and vibrant blooms of his home's garden, providing a stark contrast to the recent chaos caused by nature's wrath. Gelli, nestled within the picturesque Rhondda Fawr valley in Wales' county borough of Rhondda Cynon Taff, had been shaken by heavy rains that triggered this alarming event. As coal mining was an integral part of life in this region during the 1980s, such incidents were not uncommon. However, they always served as reminders of both the beauty and unpredictability of nature. In this snapshot frozen in time on March 11th, 1981, we witness Mr Owens fulfilling his duty as a vigilant guardian over his community. With determination etched on his face and concern evident in his eyes, he inspects every inch of land affected by the slide. His commitment to safeguarding lives and property is commendable. This image encapsulates not only one man's resilience but also reflects upon an era defined by its reliance on coal mining and unpredictable weather patterns. It serves as a testament to human strength against adversity while reminding us all to cherish our homes and protect our communities from any threat that may come their way.
