Taken in Time

John Briggs
Photographer John Briggs continues his project to document change in the Cardiff docklands, revisiting the sites and people memorably recorded in ’Before the Deluge’. In the last thirty years landmark buildings have been demolished, docks filled in, the barrage built, maritime businesses closed, and streets disappeared. In their place, a huge redevelopment scheme, gentrification, and tourism. Among the frantic activity, local communities face up to their changing landscape, with the implications it brings. With characteristic honesty and an eye for compelling detail, John Briggs brings these changes to a wider audience in this not to be missed book.

Reviews

Planet Magazine Aug/Sept 2005 – by Peter Finch

‘Adamsdown, the Black Bridge, lower Splott, the mud of the river Rymmney…are all here. Old Cardiff, hard Cardiff, real Cardiff, and certainly not the Cardiff the Tourist Board would use to attract new visitors.  It has taken a Minnesotan resident in Newport to catch these things. Long may he continue.’
