EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of everyday life in the Welsh coastal village of Towyn, near Abergele, Denbighshire, in the year 1908. The image, titled "Street Scene, Towyn," offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time over a century ago. The photograph showcases a bustling street filled with people going about their daily business. Horse-drawn carts and wagons line the cobblestone road, while children play and adults engage in conversation. The village's quaint shops and houses, adorned with colorful flowers and laundry, add to the scene's charm. Towyn, located near the popular resort town of Rhyl, was a thriving community in the early 1900s. The village's proximity to the coast made it a popular destination for tourists, who came to enjoy the beautiful beaches and fresh sea air.

The photograph's historical significance lies in its ability to capture a moment in time, offering a window into the past. It provides a glimpse into the daily lives of the people who lived in Towyn over a century ago, showcasing their clothing, transportation, and social interactions. The image also highlights the unique architecture and character of the village, which has since changed significantly over the years. This photograph is an essential addition to any collection of Welsh history or social history, and a must-see for anyone interested in the history of Towyn, Abergele, or Denbighshire.
