Edwardian Barry

1909 #Barry

🎭 Join me this Wednesday for a dive into Early Entertainment in Barry stories, songs, and local legends. Favourite lyric: “MY FATHER'S IN THE PIGSTY. YOU'LL KNOW HIM BY HIS HAT.” #BarryHistory #LocalLegends #Talk

🦇 “Forget Whitby. Count Orlok’s seen the Golden Stairs and he’s not going back.” #Barry #Nosferatu #CountOrlok #BarryIsland #Halloween #WelshWhitby #VampireHoliday #SpookySeason #GoldenStairs

The UK Treasury has screwed Wales again! They have now classed a railway line running for Oxford to Cambridge as an "England and WALES" project. This robs Wales over £300m+ whereas Scotland and NI get their cash. It's a disgrace that this is still happening after the HS2 robbery. Hat tip to @LibDemDavid for discovering this.

A Barry businessman and lawyer will be inducted into the Gorsedd at this year's National Eisteddfod. broradio.fm/news/local/gor…

Sunday 22nd December 2024, join us at Merthyr Dyfan Cemetery Chapel. Light a candle to remember a loved one. 10am to 3pm. A beautiful and peaceful chapel, listen to Mozart with a free cuppa. ❤️❤️

Join us at The Park Hotel 27th November for a Free event. One of my favourite talks about Barry, fun and a bit naughty, adult themes.

People in some parts of the Vale especially from Barry to St Athan referred to an ill-tempered person as "sour as a Cwmkiddy Crake." The "Cwmkiddy Crake" was a dark purple wild plum found in #Barry and #Porthkerry.
