Bruce Davidson's pics in Ebbw Vale, as posted by @desdelboy.bsky.social recently, and my trip to those same streets. Iirc, the original spot was identified by @robtelford.bsky.social. Davidson worked in colour and black and white, and I suspect set up most of the shots. Sandra Mears pictured

This weekend we took delivery of this beautiful (and beautifully produced - the stitching is lovely) book by jonpountney1.bsky.social ... I'll be spending this afternoon immersed in it

'VALLEYS Volume 1' by Jon Pountney sitting on cushions on a sofa, with patio doors to a garden in the background.
