Aberaman, Mike's Field And Area.
I remember the line and playing fields, very well. Another of my haunts was Mike's field, Aberaman. My girlfriend and I spent many happy hours in these two places. We used to walk to Aberdare along the line and come out at the base of the Graig mountain. Also in Mike's field was the open air baths, where we spent a lot of our time in summer. I was born in the Oaklands Lodge at Cardiff Road - unfortunately not in existence any more. Good old days.

I remember the open air baths at Mike's field in the summer, my mates and I used to climb over the wall every Sunday, great times.

I can remember that too, Mark. We used to stand on the railway bridge when the train went under and get covered in bits of soot. Sitting on the gas works tip, looking at the view, bottle of pop from the shop, I think it was Howells. Then a bag of scrumps at winnen the chip shop. No mobiles, no Facebook, great days.
