More Historical Photographs


Some years ago I was given a collection of photographs and postcards by a local gentleman, to pass on to the Lydbrook Historical Society. I scanned some of these photographs and am now sharing them. 

This photograph of a group of Lydbrook ladies was taken during the ministry of Rev. Mostyn Jones. Some names are given, the ladies standing second and third in from the left are Mrs. H____ Jones and Mrs. Bartlett. Standing next to Rev Mostyn Jones is Auntie Annie Taylor and Mrs. Taylor then beyond them an unknown woman and next to her Mrs. Enderby.
Seated third from the left is Auntie Martha Phelps (?) and next to her is Miss Burgum. Seated on the right on the grass is Mrs. Maud Jordan.

The next photograph speaks for itself.


The next photograph, of what looks like a 1920s wedding, is of the wedding of Ken Williams and Kath Hale.


The following group I would assume is of Sunday School children.


This one is of the marriage of a teacher at Lydbrook School in 1963, when the children were walked down to see the wedding.
