Wales was once a country famous for its industry, the south in particular being home to countless factory and mining towns, but in recent years these industrial hubs have all but disappeared. Port Talbot, where these images were taken, is the last true industrial Welsh town. A blight on the horizon, and unavoidable point on the M4 corridor, it holds a strange place in every Welshman's identity. A place everybody passes but nobody ventures into, I have chosen to document this town, the industry surrounding it, and it's effect on the natural landscape.
