‘Pont-y-Pant and the Lledr Valley’ by James Peel

Pont-y-Pant must be the most photographed section of the Lledr Valley, with dozens of different postcards printed, many very similar. The fact that Pont-y-Pant hasn’t changed at all for many, many years means that old and new postcards are remarkably similar.

I’ve tried to pick those that add to our knowledge of the area rather than add 40 postcards all looking the same! . . .
