More about this scene
In the foreground there appears to be an event at the YMCA, and the general view over the municipal park shows another gathering in the gardens, perhaps related to the same event. The gardens were created in 1897, one of several physical expressions of civic pride engendered by economic confidence and prosperity in the town, and due undoubtedly to the benefits of industrial and commercial expansion in the 19th century. Neath's population grew from 3,000 in 1823 to 14,000 in 1880.
