[Penbryn] Property Sale Poster
This large poster [approx 20"x30"] announces the 1949 sale of a
'valuable freehold smallholding known as Glanrhyd, formerly known as
Llaincwrci.....situate near the main road and bus route between Cardigan and Aberayron and
distant about 8 miles from Cardigan and 9 miles from Newcastle Emlyn'. Whether due
to the post-war decline or simply saving money, this poster is printed on rather flimsy
paper. As a result there is wear and tear along old folds and there is some creasing
and crumpling down the left-hand side. However it is attractively printed in red and
black and would look good in a frame. (ref 3672) £15 post-free in UK
