More about this scene
There are no trees obstructing the road now, but otherwise this scene has altered little and markets are still held. The newsagent on the corner survived until recently, and the post office has moved up the road a little. The workers on the right are putting the world to rights, and bread was brought to the door by the van of J G Jones. The town was shortlisted for the capital of Wales in the 1950s, which seems rich when it is compared with Cardiff, but may have something to do with its central location and the fast that Owain Glyndwr held a parliament here in the early 15th century during his valiant revolt against the English.
