Lampeter, High Street 1952

More about this scene
Wales's oldest university is located here; it was established in 1822, and has brought a cosmopolitan complexion to this ancient and most distant of towns. Yet Lampeter has been able to retain its Welsh identity despite these influences. This post-war photograph belies the part the town played in the war, for in the district was a prisoner-of-war camp in Henllan, an RAF base at Llanon, the Land Army was based in Felinfach and parts of the town were commandeered for various uses. A pil box remains to this day as a reminder of the Nazi threat.
