The image showcases two individuals, Roy Colwill and Howell Morgan, at Llandarcy oil refinery in Wales on August 8th, 1967. Standing amidst a maze of pipes and machinery, their youthful enthusiasm is palpable as they test these intricate structures using radioactive methods. The Llandarcy oil refinery was undoubtedly a symbol of progress during this boom city period. As industrialization surged across the globe, it provided countless job opportunities for ambitious individuals like Roy and Howell. Their dedication to their work is evident in their focused expressions as they meticulously carry out their tasks. This print not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to the significant role that industries such as BP played in shaping society during the mid-20th century. The towering plant behind them stands tall against the backdrop of an ever-evolving world driven by oil production.
