One of the most exciting things that's happened photographing Wales is finding some locations of Bruce Davidson's brilliant photos from the 60s. Often misattributed to Cwmcarn, but as @robtelford pointed out, they are in fact Waun Lywd in Ebbw Vale. The first one is Bryn Terrace

The photo is actually of a little girl, Sandra Mears

Finally, I'm pretty sure this is the spot of this very famous picture. It's behind the Park Hotel, (where I think Davidson stayed) and facing Caersalem Chapel, so it makes sense. Would love to know who the couple are!
