Merthyr: Then and Now

Here’s another part of Town that has changed dramatically – Market Square.

The first photograph, from the early 1900’s, shows the old Market Hall at the centre, R.T. Jones department store to the right, and at the left you can just see Bentley’s Hotel (the lamps and the porch).

In the second photograph from 2012 – the only building that is still there is the former R.T. Jones building. Everything else has been ‘redeveloped’.

If anyone has any ideas or photos they would like to contribute for the ‘Then and Now’ posts, please get in touch.
