Welcome arch, Ferndale

Postby mochyn » Sun Nov 28, 2010 1:37 pm

A "Welcome arch" on North Road Ferndale. Can't say when it was constructed, but the postcard it's on was posted in 1909. Anyone know in whose honour it was built? Another royal visit perhaps?

It looks like just a temporary structure, for a royal visit I presume. I've a photo showing the same arch from the other side too. I'll try to post that soon.

With apologies for working to such glacial timescales, here's the photo of the other side of the arch ... which I promised four years ago!
