Robert Faulkes
Hi, my name is Mel Faulkes and I'm looking for any family Robert had in Rockfield as I see he died in the old mill lodge, Rockfield, am I right in thinking this was a care home or not? The other address I had was 103 Rockfield Avenue. He was born in Burgh in Norfolk and he was my grt-grt-grandad's brother. I don't seem to know alot about him part from army records. If any one knew him or the family it would be lovely to hear from you. Best wishes, Mel Faulkes
My Dad in The Mill
My dad Albert Joseph Harris and mum Brenda Mary used the mill as a machine shop, manufacturing small parts for Morris, Frances Barnett, Triumph, Norton and others. We lived in Redbrook in the now guest house on the corner of Coleford Hill and the A466, the house's name was/is Inglewood, the date above is aproximate. Isn't it shame you haven't got an old picture of Inglewood. My earliest is about 1956. Regards, Roger
School Days.
My husband Stan went to Hendre, it is now a golf course. He told us he went to school in a mansion house owned by Rolls Royce family. Fab grounds etc. My son William took us to see it. Stan went there because he would not go to school. Going from Caerau to there would have been a culture shock.

I have a similar photo to this one ref 32487 in an old photo album of my great grandfather's. His maternal grand-parents were the Warder of Chepstow Castle ( George Morrey) This album is now being returned to Wales and will be given to Chepstow Museum for their archive collection. My great-grandfather's name was Edgar Howe Salmon, my father's name was Edgar Striguil Salmon.
Morris Family, The Gristmill, Whitebrook
My father Eddie Morris was last of of 7 children who lived in the Gristmill. Even aged 70, he was still hugged & referred to as Baby Brother. (Ron, Tom, Jack, Jim, Trudy, Grace, Eddie). Story is that his father was an alchoholic and would remove and threaten the children with his leather belt when drunk.....no proof that he actually used it. Story is that he was harsh to his wife, although this is unclear as she appears to have been a very strong dominatrix which perhaps itself contributed to his drinking. She, my grandmother is an enigma. Whatever. His children gave huge respect to alcohol in their later years, socially drinking, but always afraid of its potential devastation. A story I would like to share is that as a child Dad used to catch the train from Whitebrook to Monmouth for school. He & his brothers often returned home pleading "sorry Mum, can't go to school, we missed the train". After a few... Read more

Round House
My Father Henry (Jim) Griffiths lived with his eight brothers and sisters in the Round house, which I think was up the ally next to the Postoffice. His mother was Alice Griffiths, she brought up all these children on her own. I wonder if anyone has a photo of the round house?
