Historical Photos, by fattyramone on Mar 27, 2015 0:14:04 GMT 1, The Aber-Fan disaster of 1966 when after years of tipping old coal slag onto a mountain with a running stream that over looked Pant Glas primary school it gave way and slid down the mountain as one enormous mass and swallowed up the school and all those in it, killing them either via suffocation or crushing.
116 children were killed and 28 adults.
Miners from throughout the Rhondda Valleys rushed to try and help dig them out (my dad included) but to little or no avail.
They were all buried in mass grave. ...note the burial photo consisted of coffins being placed on top of each other.
After being ordered to remove the mountain of coal slag that still existed over the village the sum of ยฃ150,000 was disgracefully taken from the disaster fund in order to pay for its removal. A sum that was only returned in 1997.

Note the cut off sleeves that were only done to take that photo and of which a self-conscious Lennon needed constant reassurance from May Pang that he didn't look a berk.

I have had many photos deleted for breaching their rules about this type of thing, all of them paintings of nudes, and tasteful ones I might add! What would Caravaggio think?!

Winston Churchill during a visit to Rome. Photo taken at a pub by one of the bartenders.
Date unknown (circa 1949?).
The greedy sod can be seen ordering five drinks for himself.

My own small pleasure was that the reference to Roman numerals was picked up and didn't go to waste.
