Celebrating victory over Japan (VJ Day, 14 August 1945), Normans Road, Bryndwr
[Aug. 1945]
Informal celebrations were held all over the city. Groups of revellers sang and danced in the street. Here a four-piece band (sax, violin, drums, piano) performed on the open deck of a truck from Ashby's and entertained the crowd for most of the day. The Bryndwr Butchery, Roper's store, Judge Lee's house and also Bill Martyn's house, later Martyn's Cycles & Mowers, can be seen in the background
