    Oh that is absolutely wonderful! 1958? 3 years before I was born. Awesome image! An essence of real Welsh history.

    I remember the Breton onion sellers on their bicycles coming door to door on the South Wales coast. My mother always bought some and invited them in for tea and a chat.

    The 1911 County Primary School still stands. The majority of the High School was demolished in the 1980s, with just the oldest part remaining. The photo shows the canteen kitchen block, across the road from the 1911 school, shared with the adjacent High School.
