The Old National School, Llandough
The Old National School, Llandough. It was the first National School in the Penarth Area, dating from 1825. It was the initiative of the rector, Rev. James Evans, and was supported by the 2nd Marquess of Bute. At that time the population of Llandough was around 200, and the majority had Welsh as their first language.
The school building was constructed in stone with a slate roof and brick-edged windows and was planned to accommodate between 50 and 60 children. Behind the school a smaller house, 2 Lewis Road, was constructed for the residence of the school teacher.
By 1870 the village's population had increased to over 700, and the school was replaced by a new building opposite in 1872. The new school was planned to accommodate around 125 children and served as an elementary school until January 1941, when it became badly damaged by bombing during World War II.
The national school building is now a private house.

GWR bench, Llandough
A dark brown bench, with white letters GWR underneath the seat, is located at the edge of a grassy area between the B4267 and St Dochdwy's church. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2043686
How a bench from the GWR (Great Western Railway) came to be located here is not known by this contributor. There was once a small railway station (Llandough Platform) in the village, but that closed in 1918, and was on the Taff Vale Railway, which did not become part of the GWR until 1922.
