Here's a charming photo from Henry Street, Cadoxton, featuring Mrs Hall of No. 11 with a furry friend perched proudly on her shoulder.
A lovely glimpse into Barry’s past.

MONSTER MUSHROOM near Cowbridge. A mushroom was picked at Cae Pant, Llwynhelig, Cowbridge in 1890. It measured 11 and a half inches in diameter and nearly a yard in circumference. Its weight was over a pound. #Mushroom#barry#Cowbridge
Sunday 22nd December 2024, join us at Merthyr Dyfan Cemetery Chapel. Light a candle to remember a loved one. 10am to 3pm. A beautiful and peaceful chapel, listen to Mozart with a free cuppa. ❤️❤️
People in some parts of the Vale especially from Barry to St Athan referred to an ill-tempered person as "sour as a Cwmkiddy Crake." The "Cwmkiddy Crake" was a dark purple wild plum found in #Barry and #Porthkerry.
