More about this scene

Pontrhydfendigaid means 'bridge of the blessed ford', and this is that bridge. By it is the village shop. It benefited from the visitors who came to see the nearby ruins of Strata Florida, particularly after the railway arrived in 1866, and more recently from those who came to the enormous hall in the village that was endowed by Sir David James for Eisteddfodau.
