Post War Crickhowell 1943 – 1970 by Ryland Wallace and John Webb

For Ryland Wallace and John Webb, the years after World War Two were formative: for Crickhowell, as for the rest of the United Kingdom, they were transformative.

Divided into thematic chapters covering housing, religion, education, health, work, leisure and sport, this book traces the changes that those years brought to the small market town where the authors were born and grew up. Interspersed are stories of the authors’ lives, anecdotes of the characters they encountered and reflections on the impact of the post-war period on their lives and the life of Crickhowell.
