A board sign, mounted on a wall marking the Western Welsh bus garage. I spent many an hour sitting on this wall in the late 50's/early 60's train spotting.

This building, in the 1960's, housed a 'penny slot arcade' at the seaward end and a cafe at the landward end. I worked a summer holiday job here. It was run by Frank and Shirley Clarke. Later, a fun fair occupied the area immediately to the right of this building.
