Family Album


When you are 3 it can be hard to keep up with the older children around, particularly when they are sledging down an icy Maindy Road in Roath, Cardiff, but good-natured Ken Jenkins of Rhigos Gardens (off Maindy Road) holds his own, toddling about happily in his welly boots and his pixie hat/scarf. This footage was shot during the winter of 1947 by Ken's father Chris, proprietor of ‘Vanda's' hair salon, Charles Street, and member of Cardiff Amateur Cine Society.
