The image showcases children being safely guided across Port Talbot's main Cardiff to Swansea road by a dedicated lollipop man/woman. In an era where road safety measures were still evolving, this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the importance placed on protecting our youngest pedestrians. With their bright placard held high and confident stance, the lollipop man/woman becomes a symbol of reassurance for both parents and pupils alike. The scene depicts not only the physical crossing but also highlights the trust that communities placed in these guardians of traffic control. As cars whiz past, we witness these brave individuals taking charge, ensuring every child reaches the other side unharmed.
