CAN you help Megan Hayes from Aberaeron? She has written to Timewatch to appeal for more information about this image.

It is hoped that the picture will appear in a book Megan is putting together, as she explained.

“I am in the last stages of putting together the story of the Cardiganshire involvement in the London Welsh milk trade in the 19th and 20th centuries,” she said.

“Cows, Cobs and Corner Shops will be published by Y Lolfa, hopefully in June of this year.

“As the title implies, it includes the story of the part played by Welsh cobs.

“I have very recently been sent this picture of an early nineteenth century group including what I have been assured is a Welsh cob.

“The Rev Goronwy Evans, who sent me the photo, thinks that the family, Morgans, hailed from the Cribyn or Dihewyd area but nothing more is known.

"I am hoping the photo can figure in the book as the earliest photo record of the involvement of Welsh cobs in the ‘industry’ but it would be nice if inclusion in Timewatch could bring more specific information as to its source and who the family were.

“It might be of peripheral interest that a poster over the shop advertises milk at 4d a quart!”
