This street scene has changed very little over the last 100 years, and many of the shops in Dale Road are still recognisable.

Caption For Hay On Wye, Broad Street C1955

Although one of the busiest in Hay, this street is also one of the shortest. Here we have the mock-Tudor Café Royal, which was also a baker, confectioner and high-class grocer.

Perhaps the climb is worth it for another reason: the view over handsome Georgian streets and the vast green bowl of hills around the town.
