1. Title: "Crafting Traditional Besoms: A Glance into the Past - Making Brooms from Hazel in Penmach, Caernarvonshire, Wales" 2.. This evocative black-and-white photograph captures the timeless art of making besoms, a particular type of broom, in Penmach, Caernarvonshire, Wales, during the 1940s. The image showcases a skilled craftsman meticulously splitting and shaping hazel branches to create broom sticks. Besoms have a rich history dating back to ancient civilizations, and their production was once a thriving industry in Wales. The region's abundant hazel groves made it an ideal location for the production of these traditional brooms. In this photograph, the maker carefully splits the hazel branches using a mallet and a wedge, ensuring each piece is of consistent thickness and length. The resulting broom sticks are then bound together with twine or other materials, forming the handle and the bristles. The process of making besoms was a labor-intensive one, requiring both skill and patience. However, the end result was a versatile and durable broom that was well-suited to the rugged terrain and harsh weather conditions of rural Wales. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing us with a tangible connection to the history and traditions of rural Wales. It also highlights the importance of local industries and the role they played in shaping the lives of communities during the 1940s. As we admire this image, we are reminded of the simple pleasures and the value of craftsmanship that once defined rural life. The making of besoms from hazel in Penmach, Caernarvonshire, Wales, is a testament to the enduring power of tradition and the human spirit.
