Griffith Crossing

My Mum used to work for the Anglo American oil company on war work, her name was Rhoda Knight, and My Gran was Margaret Flynn from Caernarfon, She was a paint sprayer, painting the oil drums, where they went was supposed to be secret but she said you knew by the paint, such as light brown or sandy shade it was going to the desert, and greens for the jungle areas.

I was born here in 1956 at 5 Vaynol Cottages. The house with the plaque. I remember the trees across the river. I used to run from Pen Lon all the way home as they were very scary in the dark .
