    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.

    I don't usually think of "gypsies" as being so well groomed and clean, not to sound sterotypical, just thought of them as more ethnic looking and not having roots and bathing and beautiful dresses, etc. access...

    There are very strict codes of cleanliness that must be followed by many Romanies. The idea of dirty comes from an old insult that meant in league with the devil not actually unclean because of the traditions that were considered unchristian.

    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.
