Powys memories

Tiddler Fishing

My grandparents lived in Park Road, and as children myself and my sister used to go tiddler fishing under the suspension bridge. My sister's cat, Danny, used to follow us and join us in our endeavours. And my cat, Honey, got stuck up a tree. I remember being terrified crossing the suspension bridge as it swayed from side to side -... [more]

Childhood home

My grandfather, John James Lewis, was Station Master at Builth Road station and lived at Station Villa, (the first house in Railway Terrace). I was born at Station Villa myself, and lived there with my mother and sister, Helen, until the age of 16. My Uncle Ernie Lewis also lived at Station Villa and was a signalman at Builth Road High...

Builth Road railway in the 1950s

My mother's family came from Builth, many from Builth Road, with several of the men working on the railway which was just beyond the front garden (they had a little house in Railway Terrace).

Family tree

I am tracing my family tree back to to a Mr Thomas Jarman, born 1823, who lived at Llanfihangel, Bryn Pabuan, Brecknock. He married Eliza in 1847. He was a farmer and had 3 sons and 3 daughters.
Does anybody remember or can add or are related to Mr Jarman.
Regards
Paul

Allan remembers wading out in Fred's waders and standing in The River Wye until the moon came up. Then Nina came and called him in. There was a shed,... [more]

Burning Feet

When I was about 12 years old, with feet as thick as young, strong leather, my father, who was a pilot (Allan Dyson) and Nina (my mum, Nina actually) took us all from our home on a plot of land in Halfway House in the Transvaal (some distance from a town or city) to Glasbury on Wye.
There, in the blacksmith's... [more]

The Railway Crossing

Hi all. As a child of around 7 years or so I recall vising my grandad and grandma who lived at a small cottage near the railway crossing. I will look up the name of the road and add later to this story.
My grandad's name was surname of Carter and he worked on the railway as I believe, a ganger.... [more]

The Crossing

Hi, all I seem to have left out of my previous writing about the Crossing is where it was, it was very close to Llandridnod Wells, but I see now that the name is on the heading for this memory.
I am now looking to see if I can put in some pictures so will keep coming back here. I... [more]
