Cottages on Eagleswell Road - Boverton
The majority of the houses to the north-west, and indeed the rest of the village, date from the 1950's onward. Expansion of it and the nearby town of Llantwit Major resulted from the building of Royal Air Force St Athan, located to the north-east, in the late 1930's with several estates being built to accommodate servicemen and civilians who were based there. The '60s and '70s saw a considerable change in service life and it became more common for married personnel to live off the site to the present time when single personnel also choose where they want to live. With the decline of the base, from a strength exceeding 12,000 in the '40s to probably less than a thousand now the area serves as a dormitory location for those who have retired here or who work in Cardiff and other large communities along the M4 corridor in Wales. These cottages pre-date this expansion. See http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/855232
