New to The Commons: Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru

Posted by zyrcster in News

Cymru am byth!

We warmly welcome The National Library of Wales to the Flickr Commons! Established in 1907 and now with over 800,000 photographs preserving the heritage and culture of Wales, they start their Commons adventure with 100 photographs from the P B Abery collection, photographs taken between 1890 and 1940 in Radnorshire, the border area of Wales and England.

We can’t say it better than they do, so to quote them …

As you’ll see the photos include the weird and wonderful – including turkeys blocking the road and a dog smoking a pipe!
