Tenby & Saundersfoot Through Time by Mark Davis
Situated in the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park on the western shore of Carmarthen Bay, Tenby and Saundersfoot share a singular beauty. They are both surrounded by striking scenery that casts a spell over visitors and entices them back year after year. Through a fascinating collection of photographs we explore how the summer holiday in this 'Little England Beyond Wales' has changed and evolved over the last century. Mark Davis touches on the rich industrial past that linked Saundersfoot to the production of both iron and the finest quality anthracite coal, the only coal that Queen Victoria allowed to power the Royal Yacht. The popular resort of Tenby is also explored, which inspired the artist Charles Norris to produce beautiful etchings capturing scenes of the walled town prior to its growth through time into the attractive summer resort that we enjoy today.
Mark Davis is a fearless, versatile, and passionate photographer, committed to delivering the perfect photographic image. As a keen social historian focusing on 19th century social injustice in particular, Mark has photographed Bradford from the core out for several years, recording the ongoing evolution of the city. Mark has worked for the National Media Museum, ‘Northern Life’ magazine, The BBC, Bedlam and The Imperial War Museum . His work has also been exhibited in Menston under the banner 'Reflecting On High Royds – A Haunting Portrait of the Former Psychiatric Hospital'. He is also closely involved with High Royds Memorial Garden as a campaigner dedicated to giving a voice to those that were sadly without voices in life. Mark makes his home near Haworth, the rugged landscape of which continues his photography and published books.
