This week’s pictures from the past
Friday 29th August 2008, 11:49AM BST.
Here we have “Newtown from Barnfields”, giving a nice panoramic view over the Mid Wales town. This is a Valentine & Sons of Dundee postcard and has a date written on the back – 24/8/60.
That would seem to suggest that this view dates from 1960, although it would be dangerous to assume that. Can any of our Newtown readers, by studying features on the photo, confirm that that is a likely date?
