Matricide in Bridgend Road, Pontycymer September 1907

[georgeholtby]

Good evening,

I have a very interesting and possibly unique real photographic postcard of the murderer "Notty" Stills being paraded by police having murdered his mother in a drunken rage on Tuesday 10th September 1907 at 7 Bridgend Road, Pontycymmer. The postcard was written on by a near neighbour who provides an account of the event. The scans speak for themselves, and here is the ebay link (finishing 25 May, 2020 13:03:52)   link
