Those Were The Days

What3words for the box location: impresses.cheater.dressings
The image on this box pays tribute to the town’s folk heritage and the Folk Festival, established in 1978, that was so loved by residents and international visitors alike. The festival, held in the town and on Ynysderw Park, would attract thousands to Pontardawe and the Swansea Valley to share their love of traditional music, dance and the arts. Today, a festival continues to be held each August and is a weekend of live music organised across the town’s inns and clubs. The image also includes the title of local girl, Mary Hopkin’s most iconic song ‘Those were the days’, produced by Paul McCartney in 1968. With the inclusion of Breton flags, the image also refers to the town’s twinning with Locminé in Brittany.
