Take a trip back in time and discover a Wales that feels almost alien compared to what we know today. Journey through a century of stunning contrasts with images from the 1900s to the 1920s. Imagine fishermen puffing on pipes and football match terraces filled with folks in their Sunday best, not team jerseys. Early cars look like something straight out of a classic movie, blending charm and nostalgia.
In 1925, Swansea’s High Street Station looks worlds apart, and Newport’s old streets paint a picture of history frozen in time. Witness boxing legend Jimmy Wilde making his mark in 1919, and relive Cardiff’s bustling Central Market around the 1900s. Major figures like Winston Churchill and Lloyd George were regular sights at events like the Eisteddfod, while sailboats graced the serene Conwy quay.
Feel the thrill of a world land speed record attempt on Pendine Sands, or picture yourself among the women of the 1923 Eisteddfod dressed in traditional garb. Travel back to the devastating Dolgarrog dam disaster of 1925, and celebrate Amelia Earhart’s historic 1928 landing at Burry Port, marking her as the first woman to fly across the North Atlantic.
From coracle fishermen to bustling market scenes and poignant disasters, these snapshots from the past show how dramatically Wales has transformed over a century. What part of history would you step into if you could? Let these incredible images stir your imagination and transport you to a different era of Welsh life! 📸✨
