First photograph contributed by Billo Jenkins (formerly of Twyn yr Efail) (August 2011)
Billo comments ;
"Carmel is clearly visible centre right and the old cobblers shed is left foreground. Cresci's café is not present so I guess the photo is dated sometime between 1877, when Carmel was completed and around 1905 when the café must have been built."
These next five photographs were contributed by Gareth Morgan of GCG (Feb 2012)
