This is a picture taken from behind the Girls Intermediate School, possibly from some high ground at the end of Ty Draw Road in Plasdraw.
The date is unknown but the picture might have been taken shortly after the school was opened in September, 1913.
Pass your mouse over some of the buildings in the picture, a caption should pop up that helps to identify them.
If you can identify any more let us know.
