Photos from the family albums of J. Edwards, whose family lived and worked in the villages of Rhos, Johnstown, Penycae and surrounding areas. They are images of a way of life which has now disappeared, literally in the case of Orchard Farm, which no longer exists.
Orchard Farm, which was compulsorily purchased to make way for Hafod Colliery. Photo taken during WW1. The milkmaid in the picture is Gwen Jones, with her mother Sarah Ann Jones.
