EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a group of Welsh women in their traditional costumes, gathered around The Old Cross in the picturesque town of St Davids, Pembrokeshire, Wales. Dating back to the 1910s, this image offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the unique and intricate clothing and accessories that were once a common sight in this historic region. The elderly women, dressed in their square-necked blouses, full skirts, and shawls, exude a sense of warmth and community as they chat and laugh amongst themselves. Each woman wears a tall, conical hat adorned with ribbons and flowers, adding a pop of color to their otherwise muted outfits. The women's attire is completed with long, flowing aprons, often made from wool or linen, which protected their clothing from the elements and the wear and tear of daily life. The intricate designs and patterns on their hats and aprons reflect the rich cultural heritage of the area, which draws from both Celtic and Christian influences. The Old Cross, a medieval monument and landmark in St Davids, serves as the backdrop for this scene, further emphasizing the connection between the women and their community. The cross, with its intricate carvings and wheel motifs, has stood the test of time, much like the traditions and customs it represents. This photograph offers a rare and precious look into the past, providing a window into the lives of Welsh villagers and their traditions, which continue to be celebrated and cherished in Pembrokeshire and beyond.
