Nani'r Coed, Tregaron

from Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru / The National Library of Wales

  Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Beautiful Vintage Memory, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

  Tree grandmother?

• Siân Richards said:

  *brambly*, the meaning is more like 'Nani who gathers the wood'. Nani would have been her name, (possibly a diminutive of Nansi or similar), rather than a word for grandmother. The Welsh for grandmother is Mam-gu (south) or Nain (north). What a great photo, full of character.

• br@mbly said:

  I love this whole series of portraits of women. There's a thread of steel running through all of them. And, yes, I do know "Nain" is grandmother, now I come to think of it

[Unloading sugar beets from railroad cars, Loveland, Colorado] (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• ksaign said:

  This is sugar beets not coal.

• The Library of Congress said:

  Thanks for pointing out this major mixup! We found other pictures of sugar beets in Colorado that resemble this photo, so we'll write a new title and reload the description.

• Hol Wagner said:

  This photo (and another similar view from a slightly different angle) was actually taken during the fall 1901 inaugural season of the Great Western Sugar Company refinery at Loveland, Colo. The buildings were still under construction when the photos were taken, but beets were already being stockpiled. The cars had just been purchased for sugar beet service by the Colorado & Southern Railway.

• Arden said:

  Thanks Hol Wagner. Do you have a citation for the 1901 date or similar images from that time period and location?
