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 .

Happy Childhood

I lived with my grandmother who was Sara Catherine Roberts and we lived in Liverpool House, Penisarwaun. I was a teenager and lived there for about three years.

I used to rock climb in the area during the 1960's with my friends.
Not that I was a good climber, but I loved the rugged freedom of the mountains. I also have memories of a young girl from Gerlan who was very nice to me. Her name was Sylvia.
