More about this scene

Built originally as a drawbridge, Canal Bridge 100 gives access to the Llanwenarth House Hotel. The date 1960 is inscribed on the side of the bridge, which is now a fixed bridge with rolled steel joists and a wooden deck. The car approaching the bridge is a 1932 Austin 7, which had its petrol tank under the bonnet. Models from 1934 onwards had the tank under the back of the car.

Sparked a Memory for you?

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

I went to the old infants school, I was living at Upper Tyla then.
The children of the unemployed were taken to school camp in Govilon for a week. At the time there was an R.A.F. camp being built, after which we knew as St. Athens. When went to the beach we were told to each bring a pebble ready to put where the ofices were to be built. Best Regards. Idris Bowen
