Alvin's Photos

Whilst googling today I came across an extraordinary collection of old photographs of prehistoric sites in UK, Ireland and France. They were taken by Alvin Langdon Coburn who lived from 1882 to 1966.

Although the photos are poorly annotated I can recognise many of my favourite sites in North Wales.

Moel Ty Uchaf Kerb Circle

It seems that Moel Ty Uchaf was moorland when the above was taken. Now it is improved farmland.

Blaen y Cwm Inscribed Stone

The Blaen y Cwm Inscribed Stone is now inside Llandrillo Church apparently. I will go and have a lookee see.

And where can the above photo be? Marked as Llandrillo but I can't place it. Maybe the lost Rhydyglafes [Rhyd y Glafais] Stone Circle and Cairn?
