Powys memories
Growing up
I attended Llanidloes Glandwr School beginning in 1945. I have some fond memories of this school. However, many of the memories were not of the good variety, such as going to the headmaster Mr. Morris to be punished (the cane) for some childish misdemeanor. For some reason we nicknamed Mr. Morris "Chump". If we learned nothing else from him, we learned about gardening. Much of our school time was taken up by gardening. I don't know what happened to the produce. We certainly got none of it.
At the appropriate age we arrived at Llanidloes Grammar School. It was here that I made many friends from town and the surrounding villages. The school day began with Assembly. Mr Rogers the headmaster led the service with readings by the Prefects. Assembly was held across the road in what we called the "Crow's Nest". This nickname was occasioned by the fact that a pair of jackdaws had once nested... (Awaiting moderation, read more soon)
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
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?
Memories of Kerry
It always felt great to be in the town of Kerry. It was the halfway stop to our holiday in a Towyn caravan with no toilet. Dad always used to make a joke of visiting the Toilidoos. He could not pronounce the Welsh version. The old rattling Hillman Hunter estate always pulled up outside those famous bogs year in year out. My last chance to use an inside lavatory for fortnight ,whoopy do! Mother would have the back rammed full with stuff, and finding loo roll was torture. Why did we need it? After the loo stop, chippy here we come. Fish and chips for mother, dad had chicken and mushroom pie and chips, then ONE bag of chips between three kids. 7 wasn't old enough for anything else. No pop, pop is to wash her tablets down. Back to the toilidoos ,warm water from the tap. Dad always took his annual film of me waving by the Kerry sign ... Oh boy, oh boy. I'm proud to be a...

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.
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.
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.
