Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
there used to be i believe old house in Crickhowell it was refurbished to meeting place the men breakfast weekend was used and then ladies breakfast weekend was held there.
it certainly was old house it still had bars on the windows? what it was used for I have no idea.
it was just stone throw from Usk river.it was great weekend and my friend jean and I was to cook dinner for over 40 people .great fun.
I am also the father of Lorraine Lewis who has posted her memory of Crickhowell, her birthtown.
I was born on New Road, Crickhowell in the year of your photograph of 1931 and I love the town. I left there in the late 1930s, only to return in 1949, leaving in 1955, but I return each year to visit old places and tend the graves in the St Edmund's church where my grandparents and parents are buried.
I was born in the War Memorial Hospital in 1954 my mother and father lived at 35 Ffynnonau, my father was born at Crickhowell on New Road. We visit every August and visit our grandparents' grave in St Edmund's church where my parents were married in 1952. I love the town and try and visit as often as possible as I now live in Cardiff.
