Georgetown Roundabout and George Street in 2021

Everything about this area has changed!!! The Dynevor Arms has gone, all of the houses on George Street have gone – even the famous Hill House, home to the Williams family for many generations (which can be seen at the top of George Street in the first photo), the roundabout is in a different place, and even the tips are no more!!!

Strangely enough, the cars have changed too!!!!

Redevelopment – an improvement or just wanton vandalism? What do you think?
