You can tell that I'm sorting through some old photos this evening - I really must get up into the loft and look for some other photos that I know that are there as well. This time it's Llanfair Caereinion - again 1969 and then 2015. A similar...

Bluenosejohn liked Jamessquared's post in the thread Newbuild Claughton.
