I don't recognise this as Pontardawe. I lived there for 56 years, but this looks nothing like it. I just don't recognise anything in this photo.

Hello Ystalyfera!
I have just discovered your site and I am ecstatic!
Having been born and brought up on Graig-y-Merched in the 1950s and 1960s, I have loved your photos. Having 'emigrated' to Baglan a mere 26 years ago (not through choice) they have brought back memories of some of the best times of my life.
I grew up with 4... [more]

I lived on Clare Road in Ystalyfera, and the Wern school was at the end of our street. I remember having a street party for the Silver Jubilee. I emigrated to Canada in 1978, but have not forgotten the Wern School and all of my friends there. I had a favourite teacher named Miss John, and I also remember that we... [more]

I spent my childhood summer holidays with my Nanny at 7 Crown Row, Cwymtwrch, a whitewashed cottage on the main road. My Aunty Annie lived further up the road, opposite the grocers shop. Next door lived my 'Aunty Molly', she had a son called David. We used to play a game with marbles on a board his dad made him. He... [more]

I lived in Skewen from September 1983 to May 1984 - only a short time in my life but it made a big impression on me. My wife Fiona, new baby Siobhan and I rented a house at Caenant Terrace facing the railway and the mountain. We had moved to Wales from the south of England and although our new environment... [more]

Extracts From Gellinudd & West Glamorgan books
Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Gellinudd, inspired by Frith photos.
When sail gave way to steam, a bigger dock was needed. All kinds of shipments left for destinations all over the world, with cargoes from copper ore and coal to potatoes and onions. The dock was named after King Edward VII; he and Queen Alexandra visited Swansea on 20 July 1904 to cut the first sod. Fully open in 1909, it was soon handling almost six... [more]

The Albert Hall, which opened in 1864, is on the right and was once the most famous of Swansea's music halls. It had a variety of uses, but it was also a place of Sunday worship where the Rev Oscar Snelling would minister to his large flock. Its original stone portico is now removed and today it is a Mecca Bingo Hall. Notice the milk churns... [more]

The present building is the fifth church of this name to occupy the site. The nave collapsed in 1739, and was re-built on a much grander scale. It was re-built once more in 1895 on a still grander scale again.
