Notes on ABSTRACTION AT PONT LLANIO MILK FACTORY, Llanio, Ceredigion 2015

A return and a successful visit - so oft times a return visit can wield disappointing results. I came here solely to photograph the abstractions - walls I'd visited a few times before but not for a good few years - around four as it happens. Much to my surprise the railway line and platform had been cleared from the forty years worth of trees and foliage. How sweet it would be if this place, indeed the whole Carmarthen to Aberystwyth railway line, could be reinstated - apparently at a cost of £650 million (so sadly seems unlikely). The milkery is not in such a bad condition considering it has sat idle for forty years. The thick lead paint has begun to beautifully peel and therefore it's too much of a temptation for me to ignore!
