In the Footsteps of Robert Frank
In the early 50’s Robert Frank visited Caerau in South Wales and took some memorable if not iconic shots of the Coal Miners working there.
Treading in his footsteps today nearly 65 years later I visited Caerau and tried to find the same street. The mines have long since closed and gone, and all that’s left are the old trackways and hill scars, but I think I found the right street.
Nobody walking around unfortunately - just me and some ghosts.
