Meet the Rosaire #family! Fred Rosaire bought a fairground booth and took it on the road with his wife, Florence in 1904. Joined by their eight children, this one-man show soon became a successful family business!

This bottle was discovered inside the Penallt war memorial during renovations in 2014. The Conservator at Gwent Archives had to make the decision on what to do - Leave the paper inside? Cut the bottle open? Or try to remove the paper through the bottle neck? #EYAdecisions

This charming little volume holds more than just stories—it reveals a glimpse into its own creation!
The bottom part of the spine is missing, exposing binder’s waste, where scraps of recycled materials were used to strengthen the book during binding. [Simples Contes, 1836.]
