More about this scene
Beaufort Square is very much the hub of Chepstow. The markets, which were so important to the town, were held here until they moved to a new site by St Mary`s Church, where there is now a car park. The buildings on the High Street which we can see behind the horse (left), were demolished to widen the road for 20th- century traffic.

The dance display teams are a crucial and vital element to any folk festival. The ...see more
I hope I am not mistaken, but this building looks very much like the old Chepstow Cottage Hospital. I lived and worked at Sedbury in the 1970's and I am sure this is where we used to bring our youngsters (from SPS) to be treated.
My Grandfather, Reginald Cornish, is standing in front of the car (waiting to embark) in the centre of the photo. He was County Engineer for Monmouthshire. I still live in Chepstow and the buildings to the top and left were demolished after the Severn Bridge was built directly above the slip way.
