This account is dedicated to the memory of Hans Hoyer, a talented photographer who lived in Aberdare in the mid-twentieth century. Recognised across the UK, Hans took part and won many competitions and later went on to judge many contemporary Collections. In recognition of his talent, a Hans Hoyer Award for Photography still exists to this day. This Collection of photographs taken by Hoyer himself, uploaded to this account by his grandchildren, were also bequeathed to Aberdare Library for their archives on his death.
