Our bookshop walls are regularly used to display world class photography from Wales and beyond. Visit our shop to see the current display of photographic works, and learn more about the images and their context.
The work in this exhibition of Fay Godwin's landscape photography, begun in the mid 1970s, coincided with an increasing public awareness of serious environmental issues facing Britain at that time, particularly pollution.
Also, her own passionate interest in walking, public access to and the neglect of the British landscape and the livelihoods of those who depended upon it, ensured that her work was both relevant and well informed. She and her camera would become a witness to what was then, and still is, taking place.
