How Green Was My Valley is a photographic project based on the 1939 novel by Richard Llewellyn, which was later adapted to cinema by John Ford. Both the novel and film are based on the booming coal mining industry in the Rhondda valley in south Wales. The story is told through the lens of Huw Morgan who is the youngest of the Morgan family. The themes that run throughout the story are family, despair, and love. 

How Green Was My Valley considering ways in which communities in the Rhondda valley have reclaimed land that was once used in the mining industry. The project emphasises the importance of the green spaces now used by communities, and is intended to celebrate local people, rather than reinforce some of the negative stereotypes affecting perceptions of the area. The project is made up of photographs of both people and landscapes of the Rhondda valleys, which are paired to emphasise the ways in which spaces are being occupied and used by residents.
