In For Free.
Yes I used to walk from the Lump, with Micky, Idris, Arthur Cartwright, Brian Merredith, Neville Shone and more. One of us would pay and some of us try to crawl past the little pay window and get in for free. Great memories.
Cefn-Y-Bedd
We used to walk from the lump Cefn-y-Bedd to the pictures, myself, Jimmy Farrell, Alan Tudor and Kenny Williams, Mrs Challoner used to work there, a bag of chips then walk home, ho happy days.
Derby Cinema
I remember going on a Friday night with my friends and going in the ninepence seats and calling in the chippy on the way home.
Castle Street 'Picture House'
The white building on the right used to be the cinema, or as we knew it the 'Picture House'. My late grandfather George Alfred Williams, known as 'Alf' or 'Little Alf' was the projectionist there for many years - he didn't have far to go, he lived about 50 yards further down the road! My mum was born on Castle Street and still lives in the village.
The actual view hasn't changed that dramatically, but the shop is no longer there and the cinema is now used by a mechanical engineering firm.
My Grandpa
Dear Mr.Kirkham,
I beleive that you have been a previous companion of my grandfather, David Harris. He tells me that you have once injured him at Caergwle castle with two more friends and had a rather violent game. You even thought that you had killed him!
He was evacuated to Bryn Tirion and joined your school. A few months ago we have spent a whole day looking for you and we didn't find a thing! Please get back to me at Charlie@childcarerecruitment.co.uk or see my website www.charliebig.piczo.com
Yours sincerely,
David Harris's grandson,
Charlie Harris.

Dad
My dad Bernard Kirham, much loved, greatly missed, was the first baby to be born here in the new housing estate in 1936. His mum Martha and dad James, brothers Joe, Jack, surviving brother Alfie, sisters Doreen, Nora, Elsie and surviving sister Gertie.Dad died recently, so it was doubley nice to view this site - thanks.
Summer Hols
Does anyone remember going down the Sarn to play in the river? I went with my Aunty Edna and cousins Deanna, Desmond and Pauline Dyke in school holidays.
