Early 80s TV and VCR in the 1985 Row House. This photograph was taken in the Museum of Welsh Life/ The last Rhyd-y-car house has been furnished as it could have been in 1985. The Museum has adopted the all-too common scenario of a middle-aged couple where the man has been made redundant, and the redundancy payment has been used to improve their home. Grant-aid would have enabled them to re-roof the house with the concrete tiles which are literally changing the colour of the valleys, but here metal windows, plastic rainwater pipes and new doors have transformed the outside while the inside has been totally re-decorated and re-furnished within the constraints imposed by the old fabric.
