Y.M.C.A. Opening 29th September 1910

The photograph shows Pontypridd Y.M.C.A. on the day of its opening, 29th September 1910, almost 100 years ago. As the image shows Taff Street was full of spectators on the day of the opening, rarely does the street boast this many visitors today. Needless to say the opening of such a building was big news to the town of Pontypridd all those years ago.
