Our third exhibition of the year is
City Stories - Cardiff 1969 - 1977
Pete Davis is showing his photographs of Splott, which were made at the time that the main employer in the area - the steelworks - was closing, and the area being pulled apart and 're-developed'. This was a substantial part of the city not just in transition but about to disappear altogether. Conscious of the very major changes there and the upheaval to the many residents at the time, Pete recorded the street life and the gradual decay and destruction of the urban landscape that he had regarded as home until the mid 1960’s.
Knucklas based potter Tony Hall is exhibiting a range of his hand thrown stoneware using Tenmoku, Shino and ash glazes.
