[Tanat Valley Light Railway - cutting the sod #1]

Crowds watching the sod-cutting ceremony at Pontywaen by the Countess of Powis. Note that JPJ003 and JPJ004 are better quality images of the same event. The Montgomery County Times and Shropshire and Mid-Wales Advertiser dated 16th September 1899 gives an account of the proceedings.

Glass negatives, the majority of views in and around Llanrhaeadr-ym-Mochnant during the first decade of the twentieth century. The original numbering system (1, 2, 2a, 3 etc.) has been retained with the prefix JPJ added. Many were used to produce collotype postcards, information relating to the production of which are noted on the original storage envelopes. Some of these also credit the photographer as being E.C Burns, who is listed in the 1911 census as a shopkeeper and photographer. The inscriptions on the envelopes seem to act as a template for the wording on the postcards, consequently it is likely that E.C. Burns was responsible for all the photographs.

A crowd of men, all wearing suits, bowler hats and rosettes outside the Plough Inn, Llanrhaeadr-ym-Mochnant. The licensee's name is D. Humphreys.
