Amongst Mum & Dad’s photos there’s an envelope of pictures - some originals, some reproduction cards - of Aberystwyth Pier & Cliff. c.1929 I think. Before their time. No idea whose they are but lord, they’re lovely #Aberystwyth @pplscollection
Here’s another of the Cliff Railway with the film poster, a movie release of 1927. What a bunch of swells!
And this, I guess, is the inside of the cliff tearooms - a postcardy-looking thing rather than an original photo.
And, finally, to focus in on the end-of-pier people. The dresses, the dudes, the dog! And look just to the right of the necklace lady, there’s a musician doing his toots...
Ah! Update on the date... ref the movie poster, September 10th was a Monday in 1928 (which tallies with the film) and also 1934 (which matches my Dad’s note on the back of one photo...)
