If you grew up in the valleys then one thing more or less connects each little town across South Wales and that is the good old Italian café.
From Caerphilly to Treorchy and Merthyr Tydfil and loads more - below we have found in the archives a few pictures of the cafés and how things used to be - now would anyone like a steamed pie to really take us back?
As you can see from these pictures, the café was the place that all the cool kids hung out at in the late '50s.
