Victoria Street, Old Cwmbran, Torfaen


	Date:	circa mid 1960s
	Title:	Victoria Street and Clock Tower Cwmbran View of part of the shopping centre in the old town of Cwmbran with the Mynydd Maen range in the background
	Series:	Plastichrome
	Publisher:	Colourpicture Publishers Ltd, Norwich, Norfolk P51607 Ernst Joyce & Co., Ltd., Newport EJNE 1279 Colour by W.R. Bawden
	Comments:	This card appears to have two publisher's credits, one in black and one in red, with a note saying that it is printed in the USA. Judging by the Ford Anglia in the rear and the Morris Minor Traveller to the right this could be from as early as 1959 onwards. The shack by the clock (believed to be a bus stop) looks as if it is a converted train carriage. This road has now considerably altered as the gap between the clock and the red building is paved. The blue van on the left was owned by (Wrig)?ht & Lodge Ltd, (?) Dock Street, Newport - fruit and vegetable wholesalers.
