Caption For Meifod, Lower Village C1955

A lone walker makes his way along this pleasant, rustic street. The large house on the left bears the sign Morgan, but from this angle has no other indication that it is the usual general store.

Caption For Horsforth, New Road Side C1965

New Road Side is here still a street of small, traditional shops.

This photo is slightly later than the above photograph; there is not much change to the High Street, but the cars are now looking recognisably modern - note the Morris 1000 saloon and van in
