I’m pretty sure this is the Labour Club and features my Nain, Alice Thomas of Cwm Place and I think, a friend named Tommy. Not sure when it was taken though.

Yes, shnugs.  It is the right location but the Madoc Labour & Social Club is now the Buffs' Club.

Yes I remember the Lanes nice people. Also seen the new club there. again thanks.

It was lovely to see a photo of Nain Thomas as everyone called her.     Your Taid John and my Taid Samuel were friends and next door neighbours at Penmorfa Cottages West Shore and also when they moved to Cwm Place
I'm not sure of the date of the photo but it was before 1936 as that was the year that the cottages were demolished.

It is a great photo and thanks to Hugo for posting it. It’s the best one I have of my Taid who died before I was born. My daughter had it printed onto a block and here they are, still neighbours chatting away in my living room.

That was a lovely and thoughtful idea of your daughter's       $good$         I'm lucky and old enough to remember the Thomas family very well and what a nice family they were
