Below is a marvellous aerial photograph of the Court Street area taken in 1965. Whilst a lot of the buildings shown remain, quite a number have gone. Some of the more important buildings have been labelled (many thanks to Christine & Kenneth Brewer, Keith Lewis-Jones, Carl Llewellyn & Joan Newman for clarifying a number of details).
- St Tydfil’s Church
- Eggafords (formally the Three Salmons Inn)
- Jones Brothers’ Garage
- St Mary’s Catholic School
- The Old Angel Inn
- Jerusalem Chapel
- Sterling’s Frozen Foods Warehouse
- Merthyr High Street Signal box and Engine Sheds
- Court Street Railway Bridge
- The Labour Club (formally the Old Court House)
- The Glove and Shears Public House
- The Gospel Hall (formally Twynyrodyn Unitarian Chapel)
How many of these buildings do you remember?
