West Glamorgan memories
Abergwenlais
I was brought up on Abergwenlais Farm and went to Pontlliw Infants School.
My family lived in Pontlliw for several generations.
The Woodbine
I was born and brought up at "The Woodbine" which was next door to Peniel Chapel. Living in Pontlliw was such a great experience but sadly I have not been back in many many years. Would love to see some more old photgraphs of the village.
Tivoli Cinema
I remember going to watch films in the Tivoli cinema, pictured here on the left, on St Teilo Street.
Playing
We used to play in the old church on the marsh when we were kids - hours of fun.
Evacuee
In 1944 I was evacuated to St.Teilo Street, Pontardulais, with a wonderful couple who treated me as a daughter. As I was only 7years old it was a big wrench for me but they soon had me fitting in with their family and I have many wonderful memories of being taken up mountains, to the pictures and the seaside together with lots of love and cuddles. Everything was so different from my home and the memories of bombs and doodlebugs.
Decendants of The Reeves or Phillips Family of Swansea
Does anyone have knowledge of Richard J Reeves born 1877 and sisters Mary Elizabeth born 1878 and Matilda born1880 at Swansea? Their father was Albert George Reeves and their mother was Elizabeth Peters. Are you a relative of theirs? I am doing my family tree and have hit a wall with the above names. I am also looking for decendants of George Phillips born 1862 at Swansea, he married Mary Elizabeth Reeves and had 16 children all together, my grandmother Elizabeth (Lizzie) born in Swansea in Dec. 1900 was one of the children along with Gillbert, Albert Owen, Ernest George,Alexander, Florence Annie, Edith May and many more. My gran Lizzie married Pasquale Simeone in 1922 and lived in Neath and Pontardawe.
Treboeth
Does anyone remember Bryn Row in Treboeth, Swansea? I was born there just after the Second World War. My parents were Tom and Lily Evans, my brother Len was 12 when I was born. We moved to Penlan in about 1948. I have a vague memory that the cottages were halfway up the hill from Brynhyfryd Square. I have been trying to find a photo but no luck so far.
