More about this scene
The war memorial (centre left) commemorates the Royal Welsh Fusiliers of two World Wars so that 'their names will live for evermore'. It is still at the heart of the town, but now it has a black metal surround erected by the Town Council. The Market Hall cinema, showing 'Room at The Top' at the time of this photograph, still operates, though the central window below its clock has gone. The Café Royal (to the left of the war memorial) is now the Homestead Café, and the large New Griffin Hotel, behind it, is now empty and awaiting refurbishment.
