EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures the essence of High Street, Clydach in Swansea, circa 1910. The image offers a glimpse into the past as we look up towards the bustling High Street from Hebron Road. St Mary's Church stands proudly to the right, partially visible within the frame. The row of cottages lining this street is home to both a bank and a shop, adding convenience and charm to this vibrant community. In the foreground of this scene lies a unique establishment - a hair cutting, shaving, and shampooing salon. Its presence adds an intriguing touch to an already lively streetscape. One can only imagine the stories shared within those walls as locals gathered for their grooming needs while exchanging news and gossip. The photograph serves as more than just a visual record; it transports us back in time, allowing us to witness daily life in early 20th-century Clydach. It showcases not only architectural details but also hints at social interactions that shaped this close-knit Welsh community. Preserved by STEAM Museum of GWR (Great Western Railway), this print invites viewers to explore history through its vivid depiction of Clydach's public spaces and landmarks like Hebron Road, St Mary's Church, and High Street itself. As we admire these glimpses into our heritage, let us appreciate how far we have come while cherishing our roots in Wales' rich cultural tapestry.
