Although food rationing was introduced in January 1940, at the same time the women of Sarn and Cwm Baptist Churches in Montgomery managed to prepare enough cakes and buns for a respectable tea at the Recognition Service for their new pastor, the Reverend F. A. Baker.

The overwelming thing that strikes me in almost all these photographs is the poverty.....bare rooms, children working, all raise a smile though.

The image of the farmer-poet Carneddog and his wife, Catrin, who were forced to leave their farm in the Carneddau Mountains due to the death of one of their sons, is Geoff Charles’ most recognised work, and one of the most well-known 20th century Welsh images. Being too old to look after the farm themselves, Richard and Catrin Griffith left the home that had been in their family for centuries in September 1945 to live with another son in the English midlands.

Really touching photo. Thanks for up loading this.

There's a lot of quiet emotion in this image. So sad.

Beautiful :-)
