The Morgan family: life at Pencelli


David Morgan’s great-grandchildren are protected from the poverty he suffered as a child by the success of his Cardiff department store, David Morgan Ltd. David’s eldest grandson, D Bernard Morgan, who became head of the company, moved his family from the city during the war years. Installed at ‘Penybont’, his boys enjoy ice-creams from the Pencelli shop and see-saw between work in the garden and a fun exercise regime. Neighbour Miss Hawking hosts croquet at ‘Enderley’.
