£145.00

A delightful artifact from a bygone era, this attendance book and postcards collection provides a fascinating glimpse into life in rural Wales during the early 20th century. The worn pages of the attendance book are filled with handwritten records of fire brigade personnel's attendance at various events, including drills, training exercises, and even social gatherings.

A small newspaper cutting is pasted inside the cover, offering a poignant reference to the fire service career of Richard Mytton, who joined Builth Wells Fire Brigade in 1929. Mytton served with distinction until after World War II, earning his place as a respected member of the brigade.
