Cowbridge has many dress and shoe shop to appeal to the ladies. This one is Becki's.  

Just up the road from Becki's, there is a delightful little garden without a house! I believe it is looked after by one of the nearby flat dwellers.

Sylvia Williams, one of the two pharmacies in Cowbridge, has a blue plaque on its wall which tells of a history including it being the 'Great House' home to the Carnes of Nash, and from 1767, the Franklens.

In the 19th century, it was the Great House school and pharmacy.

A rare plant fair in the Old Hall one Saturday morning. The plants are rare, no the fair.
Once upon a time, this was a cinema, but has now become a high tech office block.

 

Another blue plaque tells you more about the history of entertainment on this site.
