War Years

I remember the Taylor family, Mum, John and Marian (no longer with us) coming to stay with us in Liverpool. My mum was from Lloyney and knew them well. Harold Taylor was on a ship docked in Liverpool so they stayed with us so they could see him, I was quite young but remember it well. I spent the Second World War years with Mona Cadwallader in Knighton, my brothers stayed in Lloyney.

RE: RE: War Years

I lived opposite the Taylor family in Knucklas in the 1940s and later, my dad was the village postman Dick Evans, my mum was Esther. I had three older brothers, Jack, Bill, and Dai. I remember Harold Taylor coming home on leave in the war years. Now after seventy years have seen many changes there mainly in the increase of new homes, the pub is structually the same, and the Chapel is still very active tucked in the shelter of the viaduct, where I am a Deacon, sadly the shop and Post Office have long gone, I remember water and electric in the village for the first time in the 1950s.
