Amazing history. Dating back to the 18th century. The shopkeepers were William and Mary Llewellyn. They took over the only shop in Ogmore and in 1880, moved to Gwalia Stores which became a very successful business, eventually expanding into an ironmongery, bakery, grocery, gentlemen’s outfitters, chemist and animal feed store. The shop was next to the railway station and was well placed to sell a variety of food e.g. bacon from the local farms, cheese, eggs and butter as well as imported goods such as Mazawattee tea from China, sugar from the Caribbean and Africa and coffee beans from Brazil. So it was possible for people to shop for everything they needed in one place. William became a local Liberal politician and property owner. They were the first in the area to own a car which William proudly called Genevieve.
