EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of community spirit and civic pride in the early 1900s, as the town of New Tredegar in Monmouthshire, Wales, comes together for a grand procession. The image, taken near Bargoed, showcases a proud and distinguished group of firemen leading the way, their uniforms gleaming in the sunlight. New Tredegar, a former coal mining town in the industrial heartland of South Wales, was renowned for its strong sense of community and civic pride. The annual civic procession was an important event in the town's calendar, bringing together residents from all walks of life to celebrate their shared heritage and traditions. The firemen, who played a vital role in protecting the town and its people, were a particular source of pride for the community. Their appearance in the procession underscored their importance as community heroes and underscored the town's appreciation for their dedication and service. The photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when community spirit was at the heart of everyday life. The firemen's proud bearing and the joyful expressions of the townspeople in attendance serve as a reminder of the enduring power of community and the importance of celebrating our shared history.
