EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Newtown: A Glimpse into Cardiff's Past" takes us back to a bygone era in the mid-nineteenth century when this vibrant residential area thrived in Cardiff, Wales. The image captures three young men strolling casually up the footbridge that spans over the bustling railway line, offering a glimpse into their daily lives and the transport infrastructure of the time. The year is circa 1965, and these dapper gentlemen exude an air of youthful energy as they navigate through Newtown's charming streets. Behind them, rows of quaint houses stand proudly, each telling its own story within this close-knit community known affectionately as "Little Ireland". The architecture reflects both tradition and progress, mirroring the evolving times. Lewis' skillful composition transports us back to an era where towels draped over shoulders were not just practical accessories but also symbols of camaraderie among friends. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, we can almost hear snippets of conversations carried on breezes laden with nostalgia. Sadly, Newtown met its demise in 1970 when it was demolished to make way for new developments. However, Lewis' photograph immortalizes this cherished neighborhood and allows us to reflect upon its rich history. It serves as a reminder that even though physical landscapes may change over time, memories captured through lens endure forever – preserving our heritage for generations yet to come.
