In the latest post in our ongoing series we have a couple of photographs of the area just outside the gates of St Tydfil’s Church.
In the first photograph, taken in the early 1900’s we can clearly see the famous Star Inn, where Admiral Lord Nelson and Lady Hamilton stayed when they visited Cyfarthfa Works in 1800.
The second photograph, taken in 2012, shows the area completely changed.
That’s progress for you – an important part of Merthyr’s history replaced by an advertising hoarding.
