Does anybody else collect these books? I’ve inherited volumes 1-33 from my grandparents. I’ve just found out there are 36 in the series so I’m disappointed not to have the full set. I was fascinated by these books in the 90s when I visited my nan!

Mine have post it notes inside where my Grampy has corrected the writer 😂
Great books
Below The Bridge is another favourite of mine
A photo book of Butetown, showing the area in the old days of tiger bay , the demolition of old housing , the building of Tower blocks etc
Loads of photos of people of all backgrounds at school , in the pubs , socialising
Fantastic
Think its out of print now
I have one of the cardiff yesterday books showing Tommy Letton , aka Tommy The Fish selling his goods to a group of west Indian women down the docks , great photos
I've been collecting them slowly over the years, and almost have the set, but am missing books 27, 28, 29 and 35. Was recently quoted £80 per book, for the missing ones. I passed on that - too much for me.
Number 32 in the series, photo 94. Championship Shield winners Stacey Road 1907/8. My great uncle front row, left. Fred Keenor, who lived two streets away, in the centre with ball and shield. Sadly, great uncle died on the Somme, mortally wounded on his first night at the front.
I think you'll be surprised what people dump in charity shops.
Make quite a bit on porcelain figures and the such, from these shops.
Families are just to quick to dump mums/dads/grannies/grand-dads/aunties/uncles, stuff, to get the house empty to sell it.
Jewelry is another money spinner. (it's not brass, it's GOLD)
