Abergavenny, Ploughing Below The Sugar Loaf c.1955
Photo ref:
A9025

More about this scene
The symmetry of the ploughman's furrows consign the hills of Bryn Arw and the Sugar Loaf to a background role. The Pandy and Monnowside Ploughing and Agricultural Society, formed in 1867, continues to hold annual competitions in agrarian crafts like this. Seen in the centre of the photograph, but also marginalized, are the houses alongside the old Hereford Road and the steam of the Hereford to Abergavenny train.
