A striking mural paying tribute to Wales' rich mining history has completely transformed the look of a village hall in Carmarthenshire. Popular street artist Steve 'Jenks' Jenkins has turned the exterior of Cefneithin Welfare Hall into something truly unique.
It depicts a miner at the end of his shift covered in coal dust looking back at a colliery and holding a Welsh mining lamp, whilst others wait to start work. It also has Welsh script written on the wall, which translates to: "I am a miner hoping for a better time. Under the big mountain (Mynydd Mawr, a local colliery), no-one saw the dawn. I'll never go underground again." It also contains words from the working man song.
Mr Jenkins explained how he had received a lot of positive feedback about his work, which he explained had evoked some emotions within people living in the area. Get stories like this straight to your inbox with our newsletters.
