The National Library of Wales holds a valuable collection of 120,000 negatives of the photographer Geoff Charles. His photographs are priceless as they chronicle various aspects of life in Wales and the Borders. His work records far more than events and personalities; everyday life of ordinary people is also recorded and a vanished way of life is revealed in many of his photographs.
This photograph is one of a series showing the postman on horseback carrying out his round to farms in the remote mountain areas between Tregaron and Abergwesyn, which took 9 hours to complete even though he only delivered to 8 houses.
You are all set!
