Shwmae... this is fabulous.. a great factual film of old Pontypridd. I wish more people would make videos like this .. it's really, really good. More power to you for getting this seen in a broader context :-)
Thank you for posting All three videos ... My 3rd Grt. Grandfather left Pontypridd in 1856 bound for America, Although this footage isn't quite that old, it does give me an idea about the area in which he lived and I have now seen a few landmarks that he saw ... Thanks !

The footage with the crane is the building of the precinct, I was about 8yrs old at the time making this film around 1963/1964.
