Classic photo from old Star days


I am in the process of collecting as many old photos as possible from my days at the Llanelli Star, Carmarthen Journal and the South Wales Evening Post.
This has kindly been sent to me by Jude Rogers, who was (once upon a time) our Saturday/Holiday helper in the Star newsroom in the old offices in Station Road, Llanelli.
She started out at as a work experience helper, but developed into much, much more.
Today, Jude Rogers is a columnist and music writer for The Guardian, Observer, The Word and the New Statesman.
Basically, she is doing the things I wish I'd done 30 years ago . . .
In the picture, we have Vicky Caig (now Douch), someone who looks like a younger version of the once-upon-a-time editor of the Llanelli Star, and Jude Rogers.
It's a classic!
