COVID_19 | BARRY | SOUTH WALES | We kept a log of events in lockdown through 2020 ā 2021. Our news posts started at the beginning of lockdown when coronavirus started to spread in South Wales and government legislated to lockdown the country to control the pandemic. We took photographs of the first night pubs and clubs were in lockdown when the town suddenly went quiet. Only essential shops were open and with social distancing rules in operation we saw the start of queues outside supermarkets, chemists and banks.
Our articles then focussed on the empty landmarks and popular tourist places such as Barry Island, Porthkerry, Cold Knap, Penarth and Cardiff.
The posts and our Barry Guide Pages will form a record of the start of one of the most bizarre and frightening years this country has known. We have archived our posts and will leave them published as a record of what life was like through the pandemic.
With we have another bank holiday coming and there re photographs across the news of packed beaches in England. Barry Police are taking no chances and are implementing lockdown rules to ensure that our beaches remain safe and acesssible for local residents only.
These outside areas are for us, and us alone to use for exercise and fresh air whilst effectively social distancing…..
Its really important to eat as healthily as possible even in lockdown. Lets not forget to support those small businesses who need our custom more than ever before and are working in such difficult circumstances.
This week in HIGH STREET we were very impressed to see a fabulous range of colourful fresh produce at JACKIE’S, fruit and veg shop. Easy to miss as so many shops in the street are closed.
FIRST NIGHT OF BARRY LOCKDOWN Last Saturday night was the first nights that all pubs, clubs and restaurants closed and the town in Barry were in Lockdown. The streets were was eerily quiet.
Check out the images taken Saturday night at 11pm. Broad street would normally be buzzing as people meet their friends, grab a take-away or move from the pub to the late night clubs.
