Abergavenny, River Usk And Blorenge Mountain c.1955

More about this scene
The home-made stile in the foreground has a temporary air. The electricity pylon beyond it is less elegant but more permanent, and remains a familiar sight today. Abergavenny had debated the merits of public electricity for nearly 40 years before it was finally introduced - only for it to be affected by the wartime blackout. The house across the river is Pen-y-worlod.
