It's a scorching summer's day in the popular seaside town of Porthcawl, as hundreds of tourists and locals come out to enjoy the beach, even on a week-day afternoon.
For some there is a sense of relaxation and enjoyment here as the holiday season begins to get underway, though for others in the area there is a sense of sadness, after news broke earlier this year that one of the town's most iconic attractions, The Coney Beach Amusement Park, is set close.
The announcement came in March after Welsh ministers confirmed they had secured the ownership of sections of land based on a 20 hectare site, at the heart of the area for Bridgend Council’s regeneration in Porthcawl.
