More about this scene

In the distance a Mini car is parked, which dates this photograph to 1959 or later. Evocative of days gone by, there is nice detail in this scene, such as the tractor with its passenger and the old vans. This village is situated near Barry, in the Vale of Glamorgan. The general newsagent and the petrol vendor make every effort to provide for the locals, even to the extent of the outdoor scales for the weight conscious.

I would say the date of this photograph is 1960 - 62. I am one of the three girls at the lower right of the photo and have a vague recollection of seeing the photographer standing on the back of a lorry? with a tripod. The other girls are my sister Hazel and a friend, Lesley. Wendy Lawday, nee COLES
