A beautiful copy of a second impression edition of 'Twenty-Five Poems' by Dylan Thomas. (Kindly sourced by Jeff Towns @Dylanthomasguy especially for the @BurtonMuseum collection a few years ago) This copy was originally published in December of 1936.

'Remember, remember the 5th of November!' 🔥

These are thought to be the earliest photographs of a Bonfire.

These photographs were taken in 1853 by John Dillwyn Llewelyn at Penllergare in Swansea 📷

Tell you what, @swanseamuseum is a little gem of a place. And it’s current exhibition “Twentieth Century Swansea” is a must-see for anyone with an interest in the ugly, lovely town.

My book about the Swansea artist George Little (1927-2017) and his explorations of industry, dereliction and unloved townscapes has gone to press. Out in October. A pre-order gift for the right person?

[Peter Wakelin @PeterWakelin1]

Thank you to the museums and galleries who supplied high-quality images for George Little: The Ugly Lovely Landscape, published by Parthian in October. @NLWales, @swanseamuseum, Oriel Mon, @RhonddaHeritage, @SwanseaUni Special Collections, as well as private collectors.

[Peter Wakelin @PeterWakelin1]

Swansea artist George Little (1927-2019) spent a lifetime recording the ruins, slag heaps and abandoned townscapes of 'Copperpolis', and mines, quarries, metal works and docks wherever he went.
A forthcoming project ... announcement coming soon. @AIndustrialArch @artukdotorg

Flamboyant Welsh professional wrestler “Exotic” Adrian Street has died at age 82. In 1973, profile was done on Street and he asked the photos be taken at the Welsh mines where his father Emrys worked at where people once laughed at him. #RIPAdrianStreet
