More about this scene

In the absence of a pave- ment, the two men in the centre have found a safe spot whilst they put the world to rights. Behind them, New Road rises to the village centre and to the A40 road to Brecon and Abergavenny. At the top of the hill stands the steeple of the 14th-century parish church of St Edmund. The flat-topped hill above the tall tree on the left is Table Mountain or Crug Hywel, from which the village gets its name.

I was born on New Road, Crickhowell in the year of your photograph of 1931 and I love the town. I left there in the late 1930s, only to return in 1949, leaving in 1955, but I return each year to visit old places and tend the graves in the St Edmund's church where my grandparents and parents are buried.
