Allcock/Hatton wedding at Whitchurch (Salop). Source: LlGC ~ NLW (Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru/National Library of Wales) on Flickr. Geoff Charles, 1950.

Eds. note: Whitchurch is in England, on the border, but the Geoff Charles was a (Welsh) photographer for Y Cymro, so I think this counts as old and Welsh.
