As you are aware, history is made every day, so periodically we will update you on recent events in the Talgarth and District area. We are grateful for new material to be sent in from anyone.

• August 2008: Work done on the repair of the Old Tower Bridge. The bridge is believed to have been built in the 12th century at the same time that the tower was constructed. As can be seen from the pictures below, taken by Robert Eckley, the bridge seems to have been built in two sections. It was only uncovered for a few days, but we were fortunate enough to record the event.

• The restoration process of Talgarth Mill has started, the first phase of which is the reroofing with original stone tiles, of the roof. It is hoped that the mill leat will be reopened and the mill wheel and workings be reinstated. Please keep an eye on this page for further updates on this exciting project.
