These old photographs of Hay really help to bring the history of the town to life. 

They come courtesy of Eric Pugh who is the Curator of Hays' photographic archive. Sincere thanks to Eric for allowing us to use these fantastic pictures.

Eric has published several books of photographs, including Old Hay in Pictures and Prints (2002) and The Town of Hay Then and Now (2013). 

These can be purchased from Pugh's shop in Hay or viewed on his website http://www.oldhay.co.uk
