This file is truly delightful. It is likely to bring a smile to your face, probably because it contains the sort of thing that makes trawling through dusty archive documents worthwhile. The thing in this file that makes your day might actually have nothing to do with its subject matter.

Contents of note

This file contains a folder full of high quality A4 black and white photos documenting the construction of the A55 New Conway Bridge, which opened in 1958. There are some absolutely breathtaking shots of the bridge overlooking Conway Castle with the sea in the foreground and mountains in the background. Real picture postcard stuff. Excellent.

People with camera copies

Ritchie Swann has some of the photos, though the quality isn't so good.
