I've got a photo of Dunnyshop somewhere, like you've mentioned it's a group of farm buildings. I'll try to find it and post it here.
Cracking site find by the way.

I can't believe how much Ossy and Accy have changed since the 60's, And it is good that the 60's photo's are alot better quality than the 40's.

Thanks, found out there is a church next door to the Jenny???

The building is still there but it is now a Sure Start center for children under school age.

The 1960's map was fascinating.

I wonder what year it was taken?

Amazing to see the area north of Hawthorn Avenue, as well as the area below High Street, as open countryside.

They are just starting to build Queens Drive at the top of Hawthorn Avenue, they started building it in 1963, hope this helps.

You can even see the long gone, well planted, flower beds in Rhydding's Park.
