The photos give an idea of what life was like at the manor house in the 1950’s

“She goes on to says that the photographs mentions a grandmother, and under a photo of the manor it says ‘Gran’s House’. However, we have looked into it and it more than likely says ‘Grand House’, but we are not sure. There’s an inscription in the cover ‘To Pat, From Jane & France. Christmas 1950’.
“The names throughout the album are Pat, Ted, John, Kaye and a few others. There are photos taken at Llandaff Fields, Lisvane, Llandough and Rookwood Hospital, The Garth Mountain, Caerphilly Mountain, Portcawl, Llancaiach Fawr, and some taken in France. It’s such shame that someone has lost it as there seems to be lots of happy memories.”
