THE WELSH BORDER cont.

 

 

Cromwell Cottage with the more modern Cromwell Lodge attached.

 

 

The story of the Battle of Pilalau (Pilleth) and Owain Glyndwr's victory over the English. This day was the 604th anniversary.

 

 

 

 

 

 

A mass grave.

 

 

 

The camera hasn't distorted the wall, it really does bend like that.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The hillside from which the Welsh attacked the English and won.

And although I hadn't at all expected to, I recognised it as being where Huw Edwards had stood to narrate the story of the battle.

 

 

 

 

Foxgloves and verbascum.

 

 

 

The River Wye from Erwood Bridge.

 

 

 

 

 

Trericket Mill (click), where we finally lost reverse (and 1st) and dad and I had to push the van as we turned it in the width of the road.

Next morning at Brickwerks, Huddersfield it was soon fixed.
