Pontypridd 36 (FNY 662) Taff Street D A Jones

Subject: Pontypridd UDC 37 (FNY 662)
Chassis: Guy Arab II 5LW
Body: Park Royal UH30/26R
Location: Pontypridd, Taff Street
Date: early 1950s

A splendid view of 36 unloading on Taff Street after arriving from Porth. The only modification to this bus has been the larger headlamps and it would seem to be recently repainted. The blackened miner on the right would attract a lot of attention now but in those days when pithead baths were still a novelty it would be a common sight.

Hopkin Morgan bakers, advertising on the bus, started in Trallwn and grew to cover most of South Wales.
