Troedrhiwfuwch, known as locally as Troedy, was once a thriving mining village in the Rhymney Valley. In the 1980s the village was condemned and abandoned due to fear of landslips. Only two houses and a war memorial still stand in recognition of this lost village.
Robin Weaver studied photography at Newport College of Art in the 1970s. After graduating he worked as a photographer for The South Wales Argus. Aside from his day job, which saw him photograph local events such as mayoral visits and rugby matches, Robin’s main interest was documenting the everyday lives of the people in and around the valleys of South Wales. Robin’s stunning body of work has captured the unique character and charm of South Wales in the 1970s.
Aside from his work in South Wales, Robin documented towns and communities throughout the UK, continuing to do so to this day.
“I believe old images develop a special character - a unique sheen imbued by the passage of time. Looking through these photographs today, I find myself not only in a different time, but also in a different country." - Robin Weaver.
BCA believe in making premium archival prints available and affordable. As a leading provider of archival prints and editions, we sell to customers and collectors worldwide.
An archival print, often called an ‘archival pigment print’, is produced using archival-grade materials and printing processes. The term ‘archival’ indicates that the print is made with longevity and preservation in mind. These prints are valued for their aesthetic quality, durability, and assurance that the artwork will be enjoyed for many generations without any degradation. For our fine art giclée prints, we use the highest quality acid-free papers that are fade-resistant.
