Furniture Cave

Antiques shop in Cambrian Street. This is an area with an industrial heritage - the site to its left in this photo (since redeveloped for housing) was once a slate works and behind it was Green's foundry, whose mining machinery was exported around the world. But the history of this building is unclear, with old maps giving no hint. The structure in the roof would appear to be a hoist, but whether the enamel adverts (for Lyons coffee, Brooke Bond tea and Spratt's puppy biscuits) have relevance is not clear.
