Memorial to Dr Joseph Parry
Memorial to Dr Joseph Parry and his widow, Jane, in St Augustine’s Church, Penarth.
https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/6681057/joseph-parry
Professor of Music at the University of Wales during the 1870s, perhaps Parry’s best known work is the poignant love song, Myfanwy.

I chanced upon this memorial while wandering through St Augustine’s churchyard just three weeks after hearing Myfanwy at the funeral of a very close friend. A moving moment!

St Augustine's Crescent, Penarth ? 1979
The bus is on an enthusiast tour following the route of the summer open-top service operated by Cardiff Buses at the time. The route included this steep climb to the top of the hill forming Penarth Head.
Bus 424 is a Guy Arab V with Neepsend bodywork, new in 1964 and converted to open-top in 1976.
This is one of a series of views featuring buses in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=137652761
