This wonderful photograph was taken 100 years ago, in 1926

It shows Class 3a at Blaengarw Infants School, with their teacher

We’re particularly impressed by the big bow being worn by the little girl in the front row!

Tynnwyd y llun hyfryd yma 100 mlynedd yn ôl, ym 1926

Gwelwn Ddosbarth 3a yn Ysgol Babanod Blaengarw, gyda’u hathrawes

Rydym wrth ein boddau gyda’r bow mawr yng ngwallt y ferch fach yn y rhes flaen!

In 1904, a purpose-built Post Office was built on Thompson Street, Barry
It was demolished in the 1970s and residential buildings were built on the site
Luckily, a record of the post office remains in the form of these beautiful illustrations by the Property Services Agency

Yn 1904, adeiladwyd Swyddfa Bost ar Stryd Thompson, y Barri. Cafodd ei ddymchwel yn yr 1970au a bellach mae adeiladau preswyl wedi’i adeiladu ar y safle.
Yn ffodus, mae cofnod o’r Swyddfa Bost yn parhau yn y ffurf o’r dyluniadau hardd yma gan yr Asiantaeth Gwasanaethau Eiddo
