This postcard’s postmark is 16th October 1953. It offers 5 views of Abergavenny, as in 1953. In the top left, “Rock Falls, Clydach” and in the top right, “Sugar Loaf Mountain & Nevill Hall”. In the centre is “The Priory Church”, in the bottom left, “Cross Street” and the bottom right, “The Castle”.
The church and Cross Street look much the same, with some clear differences, but the most striking has to be Nevill Hall before the development.
Dear Both

From the back, it looks as those it was sent by a couple just visiting the area for a short time and it sounds as though they enjoyed exploring the countryside.
