This image is a Reference Print: it has not been shown on our website before as it has not been optimised and therefore may not meet the quality standards we require for use in our normal product range. However, we understand that this image could be potentially important for genealogical, local history or architectural research and so we are showing it on the website for on-line research only. The photo may be available to buy, but needs to be checked and optimised before you can place an order.

Why are these different? All 300,000 photographs in The Frith Collection have been scanned, but as the photos were taken over a 110 year period on a wide range of glass & film negatives, using different photographic processes, every image has to be checked and optimised, before we make a print for a customer.

My parents lived in Cwmdare briefly in 1949 when I was only a baby. Dad was Edward Williams and his wife Margaret (she came from Kent). I have relatives in Hirwaun who I stayed with. I have photos of the countryside only but guess we lived in colliery houses as dad was a miner. Dad was born in Gamlyn Terrace (Hirwaun) in 1923 and had a brother Austin. Does anyone know which streets were colliery houses at that time, and did anyone know my parents then?
