Powys memories
The Crossgates Gang
I have many memories of growing up in Crossgates between the years of 1964 through to the late 1970s. We were the original Railway Children. I am interested in the previous posting ref Ernie Lewis at Builth Road station as my grandfather was Ernest Lewis and was at the Station Cottage at the crossing at Llandrindod. Ian Collins
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 have just read the biography for Mr Frith, what a terrific fellow he must have been,
Cheers,
Joe.
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. He had a big family of, as I recall but will recheck later, 5 girls and 3 boys. I visited the place where the cottage was about 20 years ago and it was in ruins with just a few bricks and some flowers surviving from the garden.
I Googled the area today and from a satellite map I see a big roundabout now and a concrete bridge has taken the place of the crossing.
I do have somwhere a pic of my brothers, 2 of them, and myself sitting on the side of the road at the crossing. If I get some replies on this website then I... Read more
Evans From Caersws
My husband's family came from Main Street, Caersws, their name was Evans, does anyone remember them, and could help me find any one that knew them?
Days Gone by
Attended Sunday school in the village school in the 1950s, and went to church sometimes, too. All a very long time ago of course, bearing in mind today is the 1st of January 2008. 2 sets of Grandparents, and at least 25 other relatives are resting in the churchyard, some quite close to the entrance.
Mrmories of Newbridge on Wye
My grandparents, aunts and uncle (the Williams family) lived at Lower House before moving to Llandrindod Wells in the 1960s. I used to visit Newbridge with my parents for our annual 2 week holiday. I remember the trains passing along the end of the garden, and as a child waving to the engine driver. In those days Newbridge was a thriving village with several pubs, shops and even a bank. We used to go down to the river Wye (Llan cam sp?) and walk along the river bank, and then sit and throw pebbles into the water to see how many times we could make them bounce. In those days the old school and fountain were still opposite the New Inn. My dad and his siblilngs all went to that school - they had no excuse for being late to school as it was only a couple of minutes walk from Lower House. The house is still there but the outbuildings have been pulled down.... Read more
Bootle Evacuee
I was evacuated to Llangunllo after the Liverpool Blitz in 1941 and stayed with Mr and Mr's George Lloyd in a house named "Larch Grove". I have very fond memories of those folk. I live in Canada now, since 1957.
