Anyone seen this site before?

Some fascinating photos. Looks like they might benefit from some input from some of this forum's regulars too.

A good find Alan. I recognise a few faces from some photos and will write again with names. Some really good photos of the Junior school too. In the section 'publications and downloads' the item 'From North Street Congregational Church to Morlais Hall' there's a bit about Morris Morris.

In photo 5 in the Ferndale photos there's the Tamplins - Bouncer's parents - who did a lot for local drama. ( Bouncer hasn't posted for ages!)And in photo 12 I recognise Ray Tann from Tann's sweet shop.

This is the first time I have looked at these old photos, very remiss of me. :oops:
I note that a lot of them are posted by Berys Inkpen. Berys was married to Ted Inkpen who used to be the 'insurance man' that came around every week collectingthe penny premiums .
Ted is in the very front of photo 12 with Fred Herbert sitting next to him. Fred used to work at Lockyers in the workshop, and also later on the petrol pumps at the weekends.
I agree that Ray Tann is in the middle turned to face the camera, and is seated just behind Fred.
I also think that Ray is seated front right of photo 4.
