More about this scene

In 1632 the first cattle market was held in Dunraven Place. The Wyndham Arms, a Grade II listed building, used to be an important coaching inn. The Victorian clock opposite the inn remains an object of interest. The National Provincial Bank commenced business in Bridgend in 1835. There is a plaque in Bridgend library to honour Dr Richard Price of Tynton Farm in the Garw valley. He voiced his support for the rebels in the American War of Independence, and had a hand in the drafting of the American Declaration of Independence.
