Images show tea at the Sanatorium at Llangwyfan, which was the largest sanatorium for the treatment of Tuburculosis in Wales, and an army range nearby would have affected the quiet needed for recuperation (gcc04329) ; the beach and derelict tank, along with various other discarded army items near Harlech Castle (gcc04330, gcc04332-4) ; Geoff Charles' car with John Roberts Williams, right, and Tommy Lloyd Jones, reporter for 'Y Cymro' in Dolgellau (gcc04335-7).

Tudor Davies (gcc04338-8, gcc04355), the school house, Ysgol yr Hafod (gcc04349-1, gcc04356-8) ; the two sons of Tudor Davies, Richard and Dewi who were the last pupils there, (gcc04359-2) and open land nearby (gcc04352-4).
