Dinas Powys, Highwalls Avenue c1955 (ref: D31054)
Year: 1950 On the Street where I lived
The photo shows the bottom of Highwalls Avenue, I lived half way up round the corner. It was a steep climb when i was litlle but got easier as I grew. I was born in this road and had such a happy time.

Dinas Powys, the Square c1955 (ref: D31072)
Year: 1955 My Dad's Shop (Mount Stores)
This photo brought back so many memories my Dad, Ralph Catchpole, bought the the Mount Stores in 1952 he owned and ran the shop until about 1965. I have so many memories of my life in Dinas Powis, my Dad's Morris Minor is even shown in the photo parked outside the shop. We lived in High Walls Avenue which is shown in one of the other photos in the collection. We returned to the village a couple of years ago and the shop had been converted into new modern appartments so it was wonderful to find a photo of it from my childhood days.
