Memories of Cardiff, St Mary Street

  Year: 1954 working life
I like this photograph because it
reminds me of when I used to travel
in to Cardiff by train from Barry where
I lived.
I worked in the National Provincial
Bank in St.Mary Street. I had some
lovely friends and times

Cardiff, Couple by Roath Park Lake 1896 (ref: 38715x)
Year: 1890s Grandparents
My Grandparents William Garside and Evelyn Bowden were married on 29th February 1896 in Cardiff and Grandad lived in Roath prior to his marriage. I imagine they may have also stood in this spot when courting, looking quite similar.

DAVID MORGAN
The David Morgan Dept store left of picture was one of the few privately owned Dept Stores in the U.K. This store sadly closed down in 2006 and is now being refurbished and made into apartments and smaller shops.

A memory of Llandough, South Glamorgan

I think my grandmother grew up in Rose Cottage.  I hope to learn more about the area and one day visit. She told such beautiful stories about this town.
Any info? womanwiththeheadofroses@hotmail.com

Year: 1950 Childhood
A memory of Rumney, South Glamorgan

Was delighted when I saw this picture of St Augustines. I was christened in 1950 at this church. Also confirmed here, belonged to Church Girl Guides and Youth Club. Vicar was Reverend Smith. Have very fond memories of this church.
