EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print taken by Ron Harding in 1954, we are transported back to a time when Romany gypsies roamed the roads of Usk, Newport Road. The image captures a group of young Romany girls fearlessly walking barefooted on a hard gravel road, seemingly unaffected by the rough terrain beneath their feet. It is said that these resilient women would walk up to 25 miles each day across all types of roads, showcasing their remarkable endurance and strength. As they make their way towards Cardiff, anticipation fills the air. For it is in Cardiff where they will reunite with their beloved boyfriends and slip into shoes specifically reserved for dancing. This glimpse into their customs and culture reveals the importance of dance as an expression of joy and celebration within the Romany community. The photograph not only showcases the physical resilience of these women but also provides us with a window into a unique way of life during the 1950s. With its rich historical context, this image serves as a reminder of Wales' diverse cultural heritage. Ron Harding's candid capture immortalizes this moment in time forever, allowing us to appreciate and reflect upon the traditions and customs passed down through generations within the Romany community.
