EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness the audacious feat accomplished by a group of North Wales students in 1964. With sheer determination and a touch of mischief, they managed to remove the incredibly long sign from the iconic Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch railway station in Anglesey. But their adventure did not end there. Undeterred by the weight and length of the sign, these daring individuals embarked on an extraordinary journey across Wales. Carrying their prized possession all the way to South Wales, they eventually reached their destination near Cardiff's Wenvoe television mast at St Lythans. The photograph captures a pivotal moment as TV engineers carefully detach the colossal sign from its temporary perch atop the mast. Their expressions reveal both surprise and amusement at this unusual spectacle unfolding before them. This image encapsulates not only an act of mischievous entertainment but also showcases Welsh humor and ingenuity during that era. The sheer scale of this endeavor highlights both the physical prowess and camaraderie among these adventurous souls. Decades later, Ron Harding's photograph continues to evoke nostalgia for those who remember witnessing or hearing about this remarkable event. It serves as a testament to human creativity and reminds us that even seemingly ordinary objects can inspire extraordinary feats when placed in capable hands.
