Llanmadoc: Our Shop
Image: © Chris Downer Taken: 1 Feb 2010
The village store and post office at Llanmadoc closed a few years ago, and here is a heart-warming story of community spirit in getting one back up and running. It opened three years ago, its cogs working by much volunteering of the local residents; see this story: http://www.thisissouthwales.co.uk/llanmadoc/Villagers-unite-common-venture/article-632068-detail/article.html It is a café and meeting place as well as a shop and post office – very much the centre of the community. The Welsh version, Siop y Bobl, I believe literally translates as 'Shop of the People'.
