This print from Memory Lane Prints takes us back to the bustling Llandarcy oil refinery in 1967. The image captures a pivotal moment as John Humphries, a dedicated worker at the carbon plant, turns off the safety valve with utmost precision. His expertise and commitment to maintaining safety standards are evident in his focused expression. The Llandarcy oil refinery stands tall in the background, symbolizing an era of rapid industrial growth and economic prosperity. This booming city was fueled by BP's presence, which played a significant role in providing jobs for countless individuals like John Humphries. The towering structures of the refinery serve as a reminder of its vital contribution to meeting society's increasing demand for oil during this transformative period. Ron Harding skillfully captures this historic moment through his lens, freezing it in time for future generations to appreciate.

As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are transported back to an era when industry thrived on hard work and dedication.
