Is anyone else not seeing the pics @MiniMinorMk3 is posting?

Most are direct linked from Tumblr, so they should work.

Good grief, those images are grim. Hopefully a Welsh valleys shitter Will identify these locations and post up pics of how it’s been gentrified now.

Kind of similar - miner's houses, Penicuik, Scotland  (Napier Street, long since demolished - present day below)

Middle one is Nant-y-moel - typical Valleys grim place built around a mine (plus Nant-y-moel had the 'Phurnicite' plant).
Image below is 1977 place called LLanhilleth - if you go to https://llanhilleth.gwentheritage.org.uk/content/catalogue_item/aerial-view-llanhilleth-5 there's a much earlier aerial view - the place was truly grim.
There's still not a lot of money in The Valleys so gentrification is a sloooooow process - the money tends to come along the M4 corridor then seep up into the valleys but it's not rapid. You can cop the local house prices for sale on Rightmove here
